Rock and roll hall of fame

My guess is that something must have happened during the years from 1992 to 1996. I think he came to some conclusions about his life. I guess he hates everything about how he was and behaved. Most people surely would agree that he was a real dick during his Dire Straits times. He himself will know it, too. Maybe some good influence of Kitty, also.

Everything that reminds him of these times maybe gives him a bad feel. That's okay with me. But as he behaved like a Boss and saw the band as a vehicle for his own stuff, he also is responsible for the testimony of the band. It's absolutely unprofessional to not even give a statement about the nomination. I don't care if he plays or not but hope he will not as it would be another cringeworthy moment, but he should let us know, and the RRHOF people also, and last but not least his former band mates. Seems a little part of that dick survived. The word Diva comes to mind...

I agree that MK changed after he met Kitty, but MK a diva?   Definitely not!        I think that the RRHOF is getting in the way of what he really wants to do - finishing the musical and the album!       However, a statement of his intention to attend or not would be good to hear.  Maybe we will hear something soon.

Exactly.

I could write something like this if I knew Marek personally. A bold opinion

It's obvious that you don't know him too well as you call him Marek all the time. It's Mark. Mark Knopheler.

And please have in mind that I used "I guess" and "in my opinion", so it's all about speculation, but that's what fan forums are about, aren't they`?

I understand what you mean LE and I guess there's something wrong somewhere in his memory about the time he choosed to put an end to DS. I don't know but his attitude now is a bit odd!!

All The Time ? Love Expresso is just a small mistake, one letter. Unnecessary malice

I think that the RRHOF is getting in the way of what he really wants to do - finishing the musical and the album!

Yes, how on Earth did they have the nerve to acknowledge his lifetime achievement right in the middle of making Haul Away 2 - the homecoming

[Robson]

I love Haul Away. Part two? Yes 

ps. I am a bit new here but for me too much sarcasm

There can't be too much sarcasm. As with cowbell.

Sarcasm and Irony... two ways to face the reality of a MK fan.

 

Ps/ yes, please, more cowbell!!!!

I already know about it

[Trawlerman]

In my opinion Mark’s attitude is disrespectful. Not getting up to play a song or two after crossing the Atlantic sounds surreal to me but it’s his choice and I respect that despite the incoherence. Now, totally ignoring his fans and not releasing any official statement at least explaining his motivations - or the lack of any - is just rude. That would be so easy. To all fans and everyone involved, unfortunately DS won’t be performing at the ceremony but we’re all happy to see you still care about us. Thanks a lot, have a good one. All said and done.

Not releasing any official statement ? You probably should wait a little bit before calling it disrespectful.
He'll probably write a statement, and John or Guy or whoever will read it on behalf of MK. Expect the classic thank you, he's honored but can't be there tonight and all that common boring stuff, nothing more.

Or wait... Did you people really expect anything else ?

I read about 'lifetime achievement', and I find it a bit exagerated. Remember, the HoF is a typical business thing that has little to no credibility compared to academy awards as an exemple. Besides, we all know what he achieved already, and he's not even done yet, so much for 'lifetime'.

[Robson]

Trawlerman said everything about it

You are free to quote me.

So Dire Straits isn't the biggest achievement, musicwise, in MK's career?

That's what I was saying. He is awarded for the biggest achievement of his career. I never valued the importance, or the lack thereof, of the RRHOF induction.

It is. Probably.
For us fans anyway

But who knows really ? Maybe he doesn't consider it to be a lifetime achievement. Let's not forget he never really understood why he became that famous and that successful. He had to deal with that, and he called it quit not once but twice (1st time right after Brothers in Arms Tour)
Obviously he never asked for any acknowledgement, and we should respect the fact that maybe, just maybe, he couldn't care less.
