Rock and roll hall of fame

[primi]

I believe they were not aware how expensive spanish cuisine can be. Mark was making all the arrangements himself in Madrid the other day but then when RnRHOF were presented with a proforma invoice they started having second thoughts. And the wine was not even included yet!

My opinion... Hall of fame didn't liked that they were not performing and had second thoughts about paying their expenses...

I see that the visit of MK in Spain gives you much joy

I won't go to bed without learning a new Word.

convoluted is today's

Merriam-Webster defines it as:

a person or an organization that pays for or plans a project or activity.   

My Oxford Dictionary defines convoluted as "coiled or twisted" .   

 

The truth is probably more accurate!

Believe me, is because the organisation promised to pay the expenses of all of them but in the end is nit doing it.

John and Guy go on representation.

You play, we pay. You don't play you go your own sweet way.

[Pottel]

yes for sure OES was a fine album in many ways. But considering the commercial pressure it failed big time and some songs  seemed  forced and manufactured too much as replacements / carbon copies of WOL. MNF AND BIA.

Failing big time does not fit he sales of this album . Rather, sold less then....

Now I'm waiting for Mr. Mark Knopfler's induction to RRHOF.

How do you know that Hall of fame is not paying their expenses jbaent?? Do you have a inside man 

[allen]

If RRHOF won't pay, still DS can be there, but no performance.  This does not lead to MK's absence there.  It is not money that matters.  MK can earn even more money if he wants.

In my opinion, MK does not want to sit with them at the same table, let alone performing with them.

Someone has to pay the flights, hotels, and all expenses for the days they are in

Failingin the sense of making any new hits on the level of the tracks on BIA, LOG, MM etc. Almost everybody was expecting something else than a countryfied album. Album sales were weak compared to BIA (but it would be hard to come close to matching it no matter what they did). The tour was a huge success though.

Some numbers can be seen here. https://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61851

True, still, 95% of the artists today would give both arms for such sales

"There's a lot of hilarious conjecture on forums about whether the band is performing at the Hall of Fame, if not why not, and who in the band are going to the ceremony. Well, here it is and it's official: Myself, Guy Fletcher and John Illsley will attend the ceremony where we'll be be performing an unplugged version of Telegraph Road with me on harmonium, Guy on ukulele, and John on banjo, and the vocal will be performed as a three part harmony.   "

And "In April, I'm going to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fame at last! While it's nice to receive recognition for my work with Dire Straits, I really can't take it seriously. That said, I've been shopping in London for a new tuxedo and I'm considering having "LIVING LEGEND" tattooed on my forehead. "
