Rock and roll hall of fame

[allen]

"I was in Cleveland, Ohio being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a great time was had by all. Except Mark, of course, who stayed at home. John (Illsley) did an exemplary job of dealing with Mark's absence. I'm humbled by the attention and the praise I/we have received. Thanks!"

I'm starting to really dislike Alan too

Not only Mark stayed at home, but David and Pick too!

And if Alan stayed at home, maybe MK would have chosen to attend the ceremony.

......and maybe David would have attended and MK and DK would have made friends and lived happily ever after!      I'm dreaming again!       I'll just blame it all on Alan! 

I think David and Mark get along better than before.  The conflict between Mark and Alan may go up after Alan comments before and after RRHOF.  Anyway, I should turn this page, DS is history, I need to pay more attention to Mark's new album, Local Hero musical, and his future solo tours with his current band.

Yes I think so too. Mark Knopfler would have maybe come if AC wasn't there !!

MK was in silence even before Alan confirmed he will go. MK absence was clear to him since the very beguinning

I know it was a question of time, but I wasn't expected it exactly from you, LOL

To me, Alan was quite polite.

Clearly a dig at Mark.

His behaviour goes like this:

Lots of digs at Mark during all the tribute band stuff.

HOF announced - AC starts sucking up to Mark, hoping he'll come to the ceremony.

MK doesn't come, back to digs again.

yes endless digs by AC

Perhaps it is best to close this topic. The RRHOF induction is over. Everything is said i think.
Some are dissapointed, some are not. It was nice that John Alan and Guy were there. Mark has his reasons for not showing up and he will never share them in public. Perhaps it is best to talk about the new stuff that is comming our way

I see no reason to close it ever actually, developments may still happen and even if not why shouldn't old or new users be allowed to write about it

The broadcast hasn't happened yet.

By the way, why to close this topic? we never closed any tour topic after the tour ended.

Dire Straits Induction speeched from another audience angle:

No reason to close. People can discuss if they want. Also, people who are no longer interested can choose not to read it.

We normally do not close topics they just die a slow death the less people comment. I see no need

At the beginning of this thread I said this:

( )

Rock and roll hall of fame is something I never care about, but I recognize than my "fan ego" would like to see them inducted, just to read/hear in the media about DS again.

After the ceremony, the media is indeed talking about DS again, but not in the good way I expected, I thought I will be happy to see DS are in the spotlight again but, all of them are logically focusing in MK absence and his silence and all I read about my favourite band is exactly vhe opposite I expected, it's embarrassing...

It was MK choice to go or not, but I wish he had deal with it in a more elegant way, sending at least a public note...

Sad end for my favourite band.

Yes exactly the same for me

Regarding John doing the induction. Why didnt the HOF have a host of the event who could act as backup in a situation like this?  Seems very strange and like extremly lack of planning. Whoever was supposed to induct them and who pulled out last minute left the situation to be even worse than MK not attending.

Very unprofessional on the HOF promoters part.

yes, the whole thing is HOF fault, yes, we have to blame them about all of it.
