I'm reading that MK is also not on speaking terms with Pick. What happened between them?

I think they never spoke again after Pick left the band.

Word is Pick felt Mark had used him, but we all know that Mark never uses a pick.  ;D

I don’t know if any of you guys is aware of that but at this very moment the future of Brazil is being decided by the Supreme Court and I’ve never been so nervous in my entire life. And you still made me laugh so loud my dogs thought I was dying lol best one ever!

Ok, there still seems to be stoney silence from MK and the management team to give ANY sort of answer - but I'm going to say this again....This attitude kind of sucks TBH.

We all know any sort of performance was likely a step too far - but seriously, how hard would it be for MK to jump on a plane....attend the induction, shake some hands, smile (awkwardly) and give the customary "Thank You" speech.  It does in fact show how MK wants people to buy the albums and come to the tours, but cant be bothered to show fans his appreciation for essentially getting him to where he is now and allowing him (and quite a few connected with the DS brand) to have a very comfortable life.  Its supposed to be and acknowledgement of a the bands achievements (all made possible by fans) and to now for MK to sit in MK Towers and think..."Nah, i cant be arsed to go to that"....doesn't sit very well with me.  Yes, we all have to do things we don't want to do, (and TBH i don't think i would like to see a couple of DS songs performed on the as the whole thing would likely be a car crash and a massive anticlimax), but shaking some hands, a quick speech and showing your face as a thank you to the millions of fans who have supported the band over the years would be the right thing to do....Ill say again, MK, suck it up!    For the record i wouldn't want DS to reunite as MK's solo stuff is very good (apart from a radial set list overhaul, but thats another issue!), but this attitude doesn't in my view award MK with many brownie points....

What about we all relax about this ?
The RRHOF is in itself quite bullshit.
On top of that, how to take seriously an induction coming...30 years too late ?! Had this come circa 1988, after the huge success of BIA album and tour, this could have been an event, but in 2018... Isn't kind of a joke ?
Am I the only one to think that MK may be the only sane mind here ?

I kind of agree. RRHOF is commercial organisation and I agree that it is very late for the nomination (if we look into who has been nominated already).

It would had been so easy to publish a small note like "thank you very much for this award, I'm busy working on several projects so I wouldn't be able to attend"

It would had been so easy...

But Mark is Mark. I guess from who he learn it... From his Bobness?

I understood that there will be a video link at the ceremony, so probably MK will give his thanks and explanations of why he isn't attending then, as happens at the Oscars, etc.   :)

Yes but, have you read the press comments about it?

Everybody has confirmed his assistance or not, except MK

I'm pretty sure MK doesn't care a jot about press comments.  Mark isn't "everybody", he does things in his own sweet way!  ;)

It's not about care a jot, is about being a gentleman.

I'm pretty sure he knew what he would do from moment zero. A small note telling he is not going would had fit with a gentleman image.

What he's doing is a "Dylan won the nobel and he's doing the grumpy"

Yes, I agree he could have done that and, maybe, in the next two weeks he will - there is still time.   :)

For whatever reason MK is behaving in this way, he is creating publicity for himself in the press and you know what they say about publicity?    It is better to have bad publicity than none!    He probably learned that from Mr Bob too!   ::)
