Rock and roll hall of fame

[Pottel]

Hats off to the moderation, very mature decision. As Ringo would say, I can feel air inside my lungs again.

Breathe, breathe in the air...as my other favourite band used to sing

Conspiracy theories anyone? Jeezes guys, no one of us knows what mark thinks of the issue, as he was not asked publicly not has he mentioned his opinion anywhere ..so all this guessing, irrelevant

If something walks like a duck, sounds like a duck and looks like a duck, then it's probably a duck... No conspiracy theories here, but just observations. It's like knowing what MK when being asked about his love for guitar will tell for 9 millionth time the story about blowing his family's radio.

There's so many articles and posts already so we almost know exactly who will attend this ceremony and who is not.

I think they've simply messed up the ceremonies. That supposed to be the Songwriters Hall of Fame for MK, and not the RRHOF for a band with lineup changes almost every album. When even inductees choice is debatable, this is ridiculous. If they would just stop at John, Mark, David and Pick already chances of all of them showing up would double. Because it was at least a proper band. Afterwards it was Mark Knopfler's little orchestra ending up with 9 people on stage. Who's Dire Straits then? Man, this whole situation only gives me a headache and nothing more.

No thanks, right now I'm drinking the wine. I'm chill, but you might as well just shut the whole topic until... Yeah, until the ceremony. Right?

Either way we look at it. It will certainly be interesting to get Marks respons. For sure he will have to comment on it once his promotion rounds begin for the new album.
Im sure almost all journalists will be asking about the induction (unless ofcourse that MK's marketing company will ban all questions on the topic, which isn't that unrealistic actually    )

Afterwards it was Mark Knopfler's little orchestra

during OL tour, on the band introduction, Mark was saying "Dire Straits rock'n'roll orchestra"

Of course I wanted Mark to show up and perform but I understand him not doing so. What I don’t understand is the absence of an official statement to the fans.

Agree.

Indeed. I have the same question !! But MK doesn't seem to think about that!!! Well I guess we'll have an explanation some beautiful day or never!!?

yes it was of course the title of a famous silver pressed bootleg, but Mark said that at almost all gigs, including Werchter for example (silver pressed boot "once upon a time")

Yes, I think that it become very complicated when HOF included non-original members.

Some rumours for who will do the induction of DS.
Emmylou Harris, Sting and Eric Clapton.

Sting is a full tilt diva, he loves being in the spotlight. I bet it’s gonna be him.
