Rock and roll hall of fame

"JK: But you’re said to be a huge reader.

MK: No, I am a huge lazy bones. I can just as easily be found horizontal on the sofa as reading. I can pretend to be an intellectual —- I’ve usually got some book on the go. But I always feel behind, I’m always trying to catch up. I’m a victim, like others, of the laptop."

"Is there a pattern to your creative process when you write a song?

No, there's no formula, no law. I'm lazy [laughs]. One song might come quickly, and another might take hundreds of hours over a long period of time with varying amounts of inebriation."

Just a couple of examples. Let's read carefully, guys 

As a man, he is slow, lazy but regularly every two years records albums, he says that he records more and more because he feels that he has less and less time.

It looks like he loosed that sensation lately...

Tracker album and tour was already three years ago and it looks like next tour will be four years after.

I don't see any hurry here, LOL

jbaent, you know what I mean:)  Mark does not slow down and we all know about it.

Actually he took almost all 2016 to rest... Just stopped to do one appearance at a college and the history festival.

It's true that he went back to the studio in September 2016 but... It's march 2018 and still waiting so... He slowed down a little tiny bit

Yes, Eddie, I have read lots of stuff like that!   

Yeah, our man loves good couches and remote controls lol

Regarding touring, Mark’s logistics are incredibly smooth. Performing is not that tiring as well even for let’s say a wise man like Mark - unless you like running around Beyoncé style lol it’s all about resting, eating healthy and enjoying what you do.

Let's not forget about Altamira's film music

That he did in one week or less before starting the tracker tour...

I think Local Hero - Musical is time-consuming

Just remember: Hall of fame topic 

[Jules]

Hall of what? What's that? Mk secret project title?

Even though I despise DS Legacy I would pay dearly to see the look on Mark's face if they are performing instead of him due to his lazy decline. 

*Please welcome to the stage - Dire Straits!*

[border_reiver]

Going to the ceremony, when all the rest of bands said they will perform, and not perform... To me it's ridiculous, like saying "I'm so special that we will be the only band inducted that is not playing".

Totally agree!

LE

Double agree!

Apparently there aren't enough Range Rovers or banker's money to cut a deal.

LOL coffee on screen now

Lazy?! Really?! The guy's pushing 70. The guys I think are lazy are the ones like Billy Joel who haven't released an album 25 years and do a handful shows featuring their old hits, and then cash the checks. Knopfler's writing and recording quality music (although some on here disagree). Creating is, by far, the hardest...

Lazy as not in what he produces but as of now he has (had?) one more shot of making something memorable out of this historic mark. But from what it seems he won't take it.

He could just play one song. One. 5  minutes. Would it even take a rehearsal? The world would go nuts and he would be remembered for this gesture forever.

Being inducted into the RRHOF and getting a dead band back together is a thing. You just do it. Bite the f-in bullet.

He always said that getting back together for a one time only wasn't impossible. This is the last obvious chance.
