MK: "If David's going [to the RRHoF], I'll go"
« on: April 28, 2021, 01:11:05 PM »
Now that's interesting! And David said the same thing, "If Mark had gone, I would have gone." IMO, between the lines, that says a lot about their relationship. At 1:24 onwards:

This Hall of Fame is so funny. Let's give all these stars an award, but they have to pay for all! I have an idea. Here, Mark and David, go to Russia and I'll present you both with an award. You have to pay all the travel expenses though. Oh, and by the way, also do Dire Straits reunion, just by the way.

RRHoF has been discussed to death in other threads. The point here was that BOTH brothers kind of considered going if the OTHER brother would go. That was quite heart warming to hear actually.

Maybe they starting to talk to each other after their mother's funeral... so when the RNRHOF thing happened, they were on speaking terms again.

David "but I don't have $$ to go there"

Mark won't pay anything of course

So they didn't go

What a nice relationship, really nice

Are you suggesting that MK should had paid David's costs?

MK probably agreed with David that all costs should had been paid by the Hall of fame people so that's a nonsense.

Yes. I don't think this was an easy choice for those who went, if I remember correctly Guy said it was something like 100K dollars just to book a table at HoF. Add to this enormous travel expenses and this is nuts. And I think such money doesn't exactly grow on trees especially for guys like Guy. So I think yes, Mark was like "If even David will pull the trigger, I have no choice to be such a jerk not to go". The fact that Guy went and Mark didn't is funny though, you can tell Guy cares about it a lot, and rightfully so.

And you ask ? MK has 100s millions or whatever, MK agrees to go with his brother to the event but the brother doesn't have the $$ to go to the event, he should pay everything imo, that's the very very very very least he should do after 40 years, not even 1 millisecond is needed to think

MK is the guy who tours with a Kemper (which is a digital simulation of the amps he owns) probably to save $1000 of tour costs

Millionaires are the meanest kind; you don't get rich by giving money away!

The fact that he is millionaire doesnt means he has to pay his brothers costs, when it's not him who should pay it, but the RARHOF who has to pay not only his brother's costs but his own costs, as they (RARHOF) makes a lot of money of the event.

That's what you say. Not me. They decided to go and pay their expenses, good for them. And thanks, despite the bad treatment, they decided to spend their money honoring the fans.

Mark and David decided not to go by their good reasons. Also good for them,as they were right. They shouldn't pay anything to go. John, Alan and Guy shouldn't had paid either, but they went anyway. Each to his own.

Can we at least all agree on one thing? That the so called Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a pile of shite?
