Mark loves fans.
REALLY? Does MK really like the fans? Some days, im not totally convinced....
I think we have all seen behaviour from MK that makes us question how much he likes the people who got him where he is.....
As John put it nicely: "None of this would have happened without MK". MK is the one who got him where he is. Every other person involved contributed with talent, but still benefited from Mark's genius abilities as a songwriter and as a guitarist. He does not owe us s**t. If he has personal reasons not to go that he does not want to disclose, let's respect that. Looking at how tasteless and way to late this ceremony was, he might be right ! He changed my life with the albums and the shows, and I am grateful that he is still doing that. His absence at RRHOF will take nothing out of that. I would have been happy to see him hug the other members and play.... Only if I had been sure they he was happy to do it. He gives us sincerity, not an hypocritical half-hearted reunion. He has always thanked everybody in his career. Watch Alchemy just before "Going Home", how he humbly says "Thanks for giving us a good time"; watch Wembley 85, how shy he is with Hank, saying that he still wishes he could make his guitar sound like "the man himself" does; watch Sydney 86, how he thanks everyone, the band, the Roadies... He does not spit on DS, last year he had been with John to collect an award for the 40 years of the group.
Guys, he is no asshole, he is just being Mark.
Let's just move on, shall we ?
