I don't know who Mark really is in private and don't want to know. I just want to admire him as an artist, and as a personal drug, only his music count.

you don't really know, that's true, me neither, but he appears to be nice chap. But OK, it wouldn't matter to you.

I am like Fieneke on this one, I don't think his music would have the same effect on me if he appeared (again we wouldn't know for sure) to be a bastard. I would still like it I think but it wouldn't be that intense.

It's probably a girly thing, what do you think?

Not mandatory, I would say, I think I'm not a girly, but:
I had the same thoughts a while back - about if somebody who is a bastard could be able to speak so soft and mellow and write so great tunes and reach me so instantaneous - and I thought, no, he might be stubborn, headstrong and consequent, but no bastard. The same goes for David, but vice versa: I never liked him and thought of him as a somewhat crooked or selfish and wimpy guy who had nothing better to do than complain about the past the whole time and stressing out how great he finds it to be just a little low roller... And I don't like his voice and music, too, so I think there must be something that's true about it. Not that I am biased or anything!  :lol

I find the "grumpy Bob" thing a bit strange, because on his radio show he is hilarious, outgoing and articulate.

way too funny there...
though he also used to crack the most amazing silly jokes onstage, until not too long ago, mostly about his band..
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

In my previous Dylan gig in 1999, he only said "Thank you" once, so no silly jokes at all, and neither in Glasgow, he only "talked" to the audience to introduce the band at the very end, and it was impossible to understand a thing he screamed...

But he wouldn't accept any callers! :lol

Well, I don't know about girly things, but let me tell you my wife back in the early nineties used to like Guns 'n' roses. I still like a couple of their albums, even though I was always disapproved with their fake revolutionary act. Metallica were bad boys and I lost any respect for them when they sued Napster, but I still like some of their albums, as well. Rage against the machine was a different act altogether, somehow they stood up for their beliefs. But you know the image (either of a tough or glamorous or whatever  guy) is very important for artists in order to sell more than the power of the recorded work. Dire straits never really relied on it, so their music must be damn good.  ;) Phil Collins on the other hand, had his face on all covers, as if he was a super model. And Sting is going through this phase from time to time. Of course if the music contained was superb I wouldn't have any problem, like the John Lennon or Paul Simon cases.  But I can tell you that Madonna did it in order to boost sales of her good album True blue, even Michael Jackson (Bad) or George Michael (freedom). Now there is the other side like Kylie or Jason Donovan. I remember an episode of Fry and Laurie, where Hue goes into a shop and asks with a loud voice for condoms and with a shy voice for the latest Jason Donovan CD. When Stephen Fry says out loud "The new Jason Donovan CD?" Hue says Hush and walks away in shame... :lol :lol :lol   
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

He did! But they were all on line 2. :) The guy is Season 2 (Tim?) who calls to complain that Bob got a record label wrong is hilarious.
