Do we know what he's going to do yet?   :think

It surprises me that there is still no official word from MK.
Like he really don't gives a fu.. about this.  :think
Exactly !!!!

I kinda miss the times when RRHOF took a piss at DS every year. This year it might turn out to be the opposite...

My only hope in this world that Bob Dylan would do the inducting. Nobody else would not make no sense at all :disbelief

He will induct them but won't show up. Instead he will pass on a written statement that the host will read. And then DS won't play anything after MK's made his ten second speech.

Then Bon Jovi will blow the roof off the building.

It all makes sense now!

During all this time I've produced some hypothesis for his behaviour. Maybe:

 - The real MK has been secretly replaced by a twin that can't play the old songs.
 - After the motorcycle crash he forgot he's one of the top guitarists and songwriters, and nobody tells him.

ah ah good one ;D
so now it's all clear : the real MK died in the motorcycle accident like Macca in 66 :lol :lol
a new legend : Mark is dead !  :smack

next step : finding the clues in album sleeves.... :lol :lol ::) ::) ;D ;D

 - He reads AMIT and he loves whenever we're disappointed, like a fetish. The more disappointed, the better.
 - After the motorcycle crash he forgot he's one of the top guitarists and songwriters, and nobody tells him.
 - The head band gave him strength, but he lost it so now he doesn't feel confident.
 - ... I can continue but I'll stop

Oh, please continue that list! A disappointment fetish ;D Made my day

In my opinion Mark’s attitude is disrespectful. Not getting up to play a song or two after crossing the Atlantic sounds surreal to me but it’s his choice and I respect that despite the incoherence. Now, totally ignoring his fans and not releasing any official statement at least explaining his motivations - or the lack of any - is just rude. That would be so easy. To all fans and everyone involved, unfortunately DS won’t be performing at the ceremony but we’re all happy to see you still care about us. Thanks a lot, have a good one. All said and done.

My guess is that something must have happened during the years from 1992 to 1996. I think he came to some conclusions about his life. I guess he hates everything about how he was and behaved. Most people surely would agree that he was a real dick during his Dire Straits times. He himself will know it, too. Maybe some good influence of Kitty, also.

Everything that reminds him of these times maybe gives him a bad feel. That's okay with me. But as he behaved like a Boss and saw the band as a vehicle for his own stuff, he also is responsible for the testimony of the band. It's absolutely unprofessional to not even give a statement about the nomination. I don't care if he plays or not but hope he will not as it would be another cringeworthy moment, but he should let us know, and the RRHOF people also, and last but not least his former band mates. Seems a little part of that dick survived. The word Diva comes to mind...

Exactly, it can be awkard. Better leave it to the imaginations of those who will never accept that DS is history.

Anyone who has met Mark the last ten years can't possibly think of a diva. He was pretty far from it in the mud at Chalke Valley history festival.

DS were history until the RRHOF decided to awaken the ghost. It is happening here and now, it's not like they are Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I'm all for an official statement so we can have an answer.

Maybe for fans who will be in Cleveland. I do not feel ignored. Mark is focused on something completely different.

I could write something like this if I knew Marek personally. A bold opinion
