I would like the poster to remove it.
It is fake, photo shopped and tasteless

New Album / Re: New for 2023
« Last post by ds1984 on March 20, 2023, 06:47:08 PM »A Night In Summer Long Ago first single? I did not know.
I know! I remember Mark talking somewhere about not being used to record company interference....
I find this statement a bit innocent from Mark Knopfler.
Or maybe he just though he had more powerl than he actually had.
Dire Straits was the brand, not Mark Knopfler.
BTW did Ed Bicknell publicly expressed his view about the album?

« Last post by Robson on March 20, 2023, 05:06:28 PM »I remember an interview about the Mandela concert where MK says something like he wasn't aware of how big it was until he read it next day, that he just ended the concert, went home, had a soup and got to bed.which is bullshit, really, i mean, he stood there, in front of a sold out 90K+ crowd and did not realise this was a slightly bigger thing?
And of course his Clapton introduction mentioning JS's new babies - 'Just waited for this moment so that 600 million people could congratulate you for that'.
Of course he was aware....
I don't think he was really referring to the concert but to the impact the concert had in changing public opinion of Mandela. It was very much a landmark moment.
Exactly!

« Last post by dustyvalentino on March 20, 2023, 04:41:06 PM »Well we can agree to disagree my friend, I like free speech and find people's opinions interesting. I wouldn't expect everybody to like everything. There's plenty of criticism of MK's records here and in my mind that should also be encouraged.

That's what he said, but can't find the interview.
Anyone knows in which interview he said that?
