Rock and roll hall of fame

[PensaGhost]

John Illsley on FB: "Being inducted into the 2018 @rockandrollhalloffame was a once in a lifetime experience - there is nothing like it anywhere in the world. Although it would have been great to play, it was still a huge honour to be there. Congratulations to all the other bands - Dire Straits is in good company. "

mmmmmm

It will all be forgotten in a couple of days, so let's move on to the new album and musical now - that's far more important!   

On a lighter note - there were three ladies with the boys on the red carpet, who was with whom?       I'll have a guess that the tall one is John's wife, the short blonde one is Alan's wife and the lady with the grey hair is Guy's wife!   

You can get a confirmed answer in this photo.

Anyone knows what Dire Straits item John donated to RRHOF Museum?

One of Mark's sweaty old headbands.  Hopefully!

The blue jacket.

or the red trainers.

"I was in Cleveland, Ohio being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a great time was had by all. Except Mark, of course, who stayed at home. John (Illsley) did an exemplary job of dealing with Mark's absence. I'm humbled by the attention and the praise I/we have received. Thanks!"

Sometimes I realize that my English is pretty bad...

Pardon?

Sorry, after drinking, I put it short.

I mean RRHOF was the most possible chance for Dire Straits union, in my opinion.  After RRHOF ceremony, Dire Straits is history, no future possible reuion.  Full Stop.  Period.

At the beginning of this thread I said this:

( )

Rock and roll hall of fame is something I never care about, but I recognize than my "fan ego" would like to see them inducted, just to read/hear in the media about DS again.

After the ceremony, the media is indeed talking about DS again, but not in the good way I expected, I thought I will be happy to see DS are in the spotlight again but, all of them are logically focusing in MK absence and his silence and all I read about my favourite band is exactly vhe opposite I expected, it's embarrassing...

It was MK choice to go or not, but I wish he had deal with it in a more elegant way, sending at least a public note...

Sad end for my favourite band.

Not only Mark stayed at home, but David and Pick too!

And if Alan stayed at home, maybe MK would have chosen to attend the ceremony.

Clearly a dig at Mark.

His behaviour goes like this:

Lots of digs at Mark during all the tribute band stuff.

HOF announced - AC starts sucking up to Mark, hoping he'll come to the ceremony.

MK doesn't come, back to digs again.

Well, nobody except him was able to highlight Mark's absence twice in 5 lines message

Yes I think so too. Mark Knopfler would have maybe come if AC wasn't there !!

......and maybe David would have attended and MK and DK would have made friends and lived happily ever after!      I'm dreaming again!       I'll just blame it all on Alan!
