Rock and roll hall of fame

[basilbunting1108]

I don't know if he actually meant everything he said but I tend to think that he did and I respect him for that.

"And I think it's wonderful for all the people who bought the music and came to see the concerts and stuck with the band all these years. That to me is the most important side of it, so that's what I would like to acknowledge when I get there is the fans. They make everything happen."

That's it. How hard could it be for Mark to just post this same few sentences on his official solo web page in the "news" section? Big  for John and big  for Mark.

Well said.

Reading between the lines I feel Mark was just too lazy to pick up the phone and speak to people.  I also think that he felt compelled to put on a performance and he doesn't like performing live televised shows to the public these days, especially when other artists are present.  The last big televised show was Monserrat back in '97, since then just a few intimate showcases and TV shows.

I agree about him not wanting to play on big television shows anymore. I thought I remember reading somewhere that the pressure of performing for massive audiences, especially on the Brothers In Arms tour, really got to him after awhile. Success of that magnitude really is a double edged sword.

Although, I highly doubt he was too lazy to pick up the phone.

The Hall Of Fame will broadcast live on saturday the red carpet of the ceremony

https://www.rockhall.com/induction-ceremony-red-carpet-live-stream

Apparently, the channel that will broadcast it is here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOA9pJexYJ4&feature=youtu.be

That images won't be in the HBO broadcast so, if interested in seeing Guy, Alan and John walking by the red carpet as they go into the
hall, that's your chance.

And by the way, if someone manage to capture that video, the rest would watch it later

I wonder if Guy will grace us with a RRHOF diary entry.

It would certainly be nice to hear from him.  He's been rather tight lipped on the whole thing.  Anything newsworthy has come from John. 

Of course Guy is coy and knows what side his bread is buttered. He has done for many years which is why he has lasted where others have fallen.

I don't think she is live reporting. And since they (DS) are not performing there is not much to report i guess.

Hero!

[cannibals]

A really big big  for John!
I hope Guy will also post a small diary about the induction on his website.
Just a few foto's with some notes would be fine

I am not into this RRHOF ridiculous joke... But I have to admit that John is really the nice, classy guy. Always was. Great guy, always positive, accepted so well to be the #2 that he earned Mark's respect for that.... Mark now lets him shine a bit, he has deserved his "time in the sun". Great  bass player too, nice sound.
Only reproach I can think of is his atrocious dancing skills. Almost spoils watching TR on Alchemy

The world would be a much better and simpler place, would all humans be like John.
