I remember reading, maybe on here, someone saying that they once met Rob Reiner.

They asked him what it was like to work with Mark Knopfler  ;D

Looks like he had a back stage pass around his neck.
Maybe his bus pass.

7/5/22 Clapton at the RAH.






I couldn't in my wildest dreams imagine asking for a photo with Mark on such an occasion.

It's only me or does MK looks a bit pissed in this pic? Kudos to the guys who can approach him though, I'd never ever have the nerve to approach MK if I saw him somewhere. I'm so much concerned about my own privacy that I never want to disturb someone else's privacy even if they're famous. Or maybe even especially if they are famous. I think it was discussed here before, but my favorite part is when you meet a celebrity and casually talk with a celebrity as if you don't know who he or she is, I think it's awesome even for them.

I've never asked for a photo but I did bump into MK (and his family) on the street in Hay on Wye and I asked him to sign my MK strat so I guess I'm just as bad.

I don't think it's bad, I actually think that I have some psychological problems going on, where I can't possibly approach people. Besides, Mark clearly understands that he's a guitar hero and changed the lives of millions, so getting asked for autographs and photos is a regular thing to him. But I won't do it anyway, haha. But it's also quite obvious I have a little chance to bump into MK anyway as I live in the 3rd world country :lol

I’d driven my wife and 8 week old baby 600 miles to see him, and carted a guitar neck in the hope of getting him to sign it. I had to make a split second decision to stop him or not. I kind of felt it was a once in a lifetime thing, bumping into your hero in the street so I went for it.

He could have said no but he didn’t!

I love all these stories, and how nice MK nearly always responds to these requests with dignity, making funny jokes or comments, he really digs it. I heard just a few stories when MK was angry with such requests, and usually, it was a situation when you clearly don't want to disturb people. In order to piss somebody like MK you need to be a grand champion of stupidity. That includes even working with him :lol

If I ever see Mark on the street, I will only come up to him if he isn't wearing those ugly trainer shoes he seems to use on every occasion.

He's at the point when comfort is over looks, I guess. My mom said trainers are the best type of shoes for elderly people, and even some of my peers have a strong bond with trainers. I, however, never had a single pair of trainers yet, but maybe, when I'm 72, I'll love them.

I saw him in London back in 2016. We were alone in the street and I was completed paralyzed, when I  recohnized  him. But I enjoyed the moment and didnt ask for an autograph or pic, as I was too shy  :'  however it was a very special moment for me and I wont forget it  :)

I think this is a great point: even without signatures and photos is was still memorable. The photo or a signature will go on the shelf somewhere, to be seen once in a decade, but the memories are far better thing to own. And you certainly can't sell it on eBay :lol

I have a colage of pictures framed in my office room at home, in which I'm with MK, John, David, Hal, Alan, Guy, Chris White, Ed Bicknell, Phil Palmer and Danny Cummings...

During years attending MK concerts, I was lucky to meet all of them, and decided to take the risk and having a negative answer by them, but in the contrary, all of them were happy enough and some even very funny and kind. Including MK, and I was lucky enought that it was before the times where he only possed for pics inside his car.
You might get lucky, now and then

So, what do you wear when you go out walking?    I walk around 6 miles each day wearing trainers and if the terrain is going to be rough I wear boots.   I'm just curious!   :think
