Rock and roll hall of fame

[Eddie Fox]

Lol Stevie Wonder singing Why Aye Man, great!

No eye man
No eye, no eye man
No eye man
No eye, no eye man

Oh gosh, I’m going straight to hell after this one.

Lol actually this is hilarious. There's no single topic on Earth you can't make a joke about, except for maybe some religion ones. Moreover, this is technically false, because Stevie has eyes, it's just he can't see a thing with them. So "No Eye Man" might as well be a character song, which is a common thing in Mark's songs anyway.

Thanks for your sense of humor:)

From AC website:
There's a lot of conjecture on forums about whether the band is performing at the Hall of Fame, and if not why not and who in the band are going to the ceremony. Well, here it is and it's official: Myself, Guy Fletcher and John Illsley will attend the ceremony where we'll be be performing an unplugged version of Telegraph Road with me on harmonium, Guy on ukulele, John on banjo, and the vocal sung by Stevie Wonder.   
 

Haha, good joke!

Now it's not Stevie Wonder but the three of them doing harmonies...

OK, before April Fools' Day, AC said three of them doing harmonies, and in April he said Stevie Wonder will sing.  Sorry, I can not appreciate his OFFICIAL joke at this moment, at all.  There's no official annoucement from Damage Management, all fans want to know if MK will be there, if DS will perform there.   We fans need a clear annoucement, not an official joke, it's not the right time to stir muddy water.  Sorry.

And really a pity that even websites like ultimateclassicrock.com quoted AC's official joke as a proof of DS' performance.  Am I the only one here who were not born in an English mother tongue country and can not tell a joke from a real offical statement?  Sorry, a bit annoyed and disapointed today.

yes April 01 has probably nothing to do with it, infact in his site April 01 is not even mentioned

knowing AC it might be an attack to MK

We know who used to be the joker in DS, LOL

As much as I disapprove Alan's attempt to milk DS I loved the joke. Isn't it clear DS is not performing? Isn't it obvious that Alan wanted to perform? Can you imagine how many times people have asked him about it? He got fed up and cracked a joke. That's called sarcasm and brits do it better than anyone. I still can't believe some journalists took it seriously and published it. Classic.

It could be a joke but also an attack to MK

A way to say, look what TR (and DS songs in general) has become, ukulele banjo etc , we could play them much better if DS were back

I think you're reading too much into it. Alan has disrespected Mark a few times for sure but I don't think that's the case here, that's pure sarcasm.

Man, only after your input I realised WHICH song Alan has mentioned. Man, after all these years they all can't just settle down.
Telegraph Road could easily be written by Knopfler/Clark, but for the same reasons the ceremony will be ignored — it isn't.

yes, too many coincidences and previous bad feelings to be just a joke

I agree that some of you are reading too much beyond any wildest dreams...

Yeah, he just casually picked the song he probably had the most of his composer's impact with DS, nothing strange. Coincidence, nothing more.
