Rock and roll hall of fame

[dustyvalentino]

Both Mark and David Knopfler have individually expressed that they probably will not be there, David through a Facebook comment and Mark in a recent interview with radio station WNCX. Mark Knopfler declared his wish that Bob Dylan or Eric Clapton would induct the band, but no presenters for Dire Straits have been announced as yet, according to Stereogum.

Anybody heard this interview with MK on radio WNCX?

Fake news?

Searching through the website of the radio station leads to a few articles but none that actually appears to have been made out of an actual interview.

To be honest I've found a lot of "telephone" interviews there, the most recent one is the one with Gary Brooker, so they seem to be in contact with artists. I won't be surprised if they got Mark's comment on the ceremony, especially because it doesn't feel strange. Nothing wrong with wishing for Bob Dylan or Eric Clapton to induct Dire Straits, in fact I'd only requested Bob Dylan in this case and I really hope he will do it. DS deserves that.

MK certainly knows Bob won't do it and EC has health issues so he most likely won't do it either. So there's no point wishing it, let alone talking about it.

My guess is MK didn't wish anything. Why would he wish something like that when he doesn't even bother attending ? Doesn't make any sense.

You have to admit that it would be funny if they chose Dylan to induct DS and then have him not showing up. Too. 

A video presentation for a video presentation.

Or perhaps Bob presenting to Mark in CGI?  The younger generation are so used to it in films these days that they could both appear to be there at the ceremony together!
