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.
