Rock and roll hall of fame

[superval99]

I think Alan spoke in jest!

From AC website:
There's a lot of conjecture on forums about whether the band is performing at the Hall of Fame, and 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, John on banjo, and the vocal sung by Stevie Wonder.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler and his brother David may not be coming to Cleveland for the band's April 14 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. But three members of the group -- bassist John Illsley and keyboardists Alan Clark and Guy Fletcher -- will be in town and will be performing at least one Dire Straits song at the ceremony.
-----
John Alan and Guy will play at the induction 

 

I would take that as AC's attempt at humour.

I won’t be surprised if there’ll be a couple of dudes doing vocals and lead guitars while John, Guy and Alan do their thing. If it’s John Mayer and Keith Urban I’ll love it.

According to Alan it will be Stevie Wonder but I think he is joking.........

Lol Stevie Wonder singing Why Aye Man, great!

No eye man
No eye, no eye man
No eye man
No eye, no eye man

Oh gosh, I’m going straight to hell after this one.

Yes, not funny at all, sorry to say. Crossed the line one step too far from my point of view. Maybe better delete it?

Lol actually this is hilarious. There's no single topic on Earth you can't make a joke about, except for maybe some religion ones. Moreover, this is technically false, because Stevie has eyes, it's just he can't see a thing with them. So "No Eye Man" might as well be a character song, which is a common thing in Mark's songs anyway.

I think so. And  found it very funny.

Good gag by Alan. Can't believe some so-called journalists fell for it.

Nope. Freedom of speech. Distasteful, sure, but so are many things.

it's clearly a joke by AC but his site doesn't mention any date, so it might be not 100% clear at all to some occasional fan surfing his website

and april 01 or not I don't think it's funny nor professional

It would be if SW didn’t have eyes and it hadn’t started with a joke made by Alan. Just a word play, really. Big fan here, btw. Stevie is in my top 10.
