Mark and David

[Pottel]

everybody missed this sentence?
"I disagree profoundly with the way Mark is dealing (or rather not dealing) with this but I still love him to bits. As our father always said ... where there's a will there's a way. .."

[Pottel]

his reply is actually very well written i think.

From the moment one or more of the person involved did speak about it I think we can discuss and to try to understand what happened, how and why.

Like I'd like to understand what happened to Pick and Alan.

It doesn't matter if it's well written or not, it's a matter of bad taste of his wife (first) to talk in public about private matters and later he also wrote something about it, but way more sensitive than his wife did. I suppose he didn't have a choice, his wife already made a mess of it so he had to calm it down a little.

He's very adept at putting himself in a good light, I would say - making himself Mr Good Guy!

I did an interview with David for some years ago. And he did answer about his relationship with Mark and about the years in Dire Straits.

From the above listed interview:
 
What person/s do you look up to?
Anyone taller than me.

Sounds pretty arrogant to me!

And probably will go backstage to say Hi!

 

Anyway, after all that happened, David was interviewed by the BBC for a special programma about brothers in rock bands and when asked about MK, David mentioned that they see each other in weddings, funerals etc etc and they salute each other.

Nothing wrong with discussing this

[Rail King]

You've probably seen this () already, but it's funny how he imitates Mark at 2:02. "Hello David ..."

By that way, I've writtten do David yesterday and got a very nice email back. I don't want to post it here for privacy reasons, and David didn't want to go into (legal) details anyway, but he seems to regret the fact very much that they hardly talk to each other and he still hopes for a "Hollywood ending". He says he really doesn't know why that's not on the table for Mark.

Personally, I wouldn't want them to reanimate Dire Straits or anything, I'd just want them to get along with each other.

It isn't any of our business and there is more to life than worry about whether Mark and David are going to be friends again.

Wise words Val!

I think we better close this discussion, as it's none of our business. We agreed not go into private lives/matters of MK and bandmembers (check the AMIT-rules) and I think it's going to far now. We don't know what exactly happened, we will never know. Every single word written/spoken about it by the ones involved will be politically correct and doesn't have to be (totally) true.

So discussion closed, we keep it online for some time. If it goes on, we will remove it from here.
