I don't think David regret leaving DS. I think David regret breaking the relationship with his brother.

He wasn't happy in the band. He was happy and enjoyed his solo career. He always said that.
That's what I suppose how David feels!! Never easy to break a relationship with a sibling !! But I want to believe that deep down inside Mark has the same feelings. Afterall he is a normal human being.... He just doesn't want to speak to the media about that.... David is different on this point. Medias are the only way for him to reach out to MK.. Not an easy situation after all these years !!

Someone wrote here that David talked badly about Mark over the years. Public in the media. Mark never. It probably is not right

He talked... With no talking. Usually when asked about David MK gets extremely uncomfortable and just mumble a couple of default words.

If I were MK, I would not show up at all at this phoney ceremony. It's not like a Knighthood or a Grammy, or a Nobel Prize, just a strange award that makes EVERYBODY think, "Rock'n'Roll hall of fame? I thought they're already there". Eurovision song context is even better than this thing.

What does it mean to mumble ?

To say something fast and unclearly, as if you're uncertain about it or obviously want to take the discussion in the other direction.
It's like when Mark was asked about cancelling his shows in Russia in 2013, all he said was "It was a good thing to do. Next question".

Going [almost] back to topic, I just realised there's also Songwriters Hall of Fame. There's no MK, but there's Jay Z in it. Should I say something?
;D ;D ;D

Because all this Hall Of Fame Of Something thing isn't about achievements, but more like a random award given to random people. I understand Oscars, at least this award is about some kind of achievements, but HOF is more like a honorary Oscar — just to indicate that "we thought to give you this award, but here you have it, when you doesn't need it anymore". Charlie Chaplin got his Oscar 5 years before his death. Is this okay? Why not to give Radiohead the award, but The Moody Blues is okay?

Every one of these awards cheapens everything the artists do in my opinion, so the best way to recognise it is refuse to take it. I'm shocked that people even have an option to talk about the DS reunion. Reunion because of this? I think my birthday is a better cause for Dire Straits to go for a reunion.

Give Mark a knighthood and there'll be no questions about wether Alan Clark or David Knopfler should take it. Crystal clear, no questions about it, alcohol free award. By the way, Sir Roger Moore was knighted because of his "services to charity" and he was very proud of it. Because he got it not for his acting even.

subject of the topic completely changed! Should be news about hall of fame, don´t should?  :think

We're just socializing and philosophizing in between news lol but it ends up being about the topic considering that these issues are what will most likely prevent DS from performing at the cerimony.

Well, if you consider that Greenday is in the RRHOF...

Are you for real!?  :smack  :lol :lol
Well, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is definitely not an award for artistic achievements,  is more about popularity. It is not a great way to reward a lifetime of musical achievements, but it's what it is.
I have no nerves to go and check who is on this Hall, but I wonder if JJ Cale ever made into it.

Tickets go on sale very soon

. Your Chance to Score Induction Ceremony Tickets is Coming
Starting at 10 am ET on Thursday, February 8 tickets for the 33rd annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be released for public sale.

Ticket prices range from $90 to $500. All sales have a limit of two [2] tickets per transaction.
