Rock and roll hall of fame

Clapton show up for his own induction and when he was inducted with Cream, but didn't with The Yardbirds, and was a pity as Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were there, imagine the Yardbirds playing with the three at once!

Yes, that proves Eric Clapton and Paul McCatney do not have negative view towards RRHOF, but it seemed they had difficulties with ex band members.  I assume Mark may have similiar situations.

Does it says Dire Straits?

I was kind of convinced that it was just my opinion 

 

Well MY opinion is that is was pretty stupid of the HOF to use a pic showing three people who didn't turn up...

First, Dusty, it was just a joke

Secondly, I agree with you. Even the four in the picture were being inducted, only one of them was there so they might used at least a 85 or 92 picture of DS instead.

I know it's a joke - in fact it gets funnier every time you post it!

Don't lie, it's getting boring to me as well  but I couldn'r resist

"The drama behind Dire Straits’s induction into the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame continues to get even more, well, dire every day."

I never thought I would read such things about Dire Straits ever  I always thought that things only happens to bands where the members have big egos or are big divas

No one knows for sure the real reason(s) why MK was absent.  Paul McCatney didn't show up for Beatles Induction, but he showed up for his solo induction.  Eric Clapton did the same.  Maybe MK will do the same.

Perhaps not related to the quoted person but some of you praise Mark for sticking the finger to HoF by not even making a comment about it let alone show up, but at the same time you'd fancy him showing up for his solo work. Where's the logic in that? It's the same HoF that's apparently not a very credible institution.

Well, I do hope he can show up in RRHOF, but if he feels uncomfortable being with those who he does not want to be with, I fully respect Mark's absence this time.

Many many big rock names had been inducted and attended and even played so, as an institution related to rock, some credit has...

My bet is that MK didn't want to be with David and Alan. It's not nice to meet the corpses you left behind your way to succes.

I dare to say that John, Alan and even Guy doesn't agree with what MK has done, they have to respect it, but propably they don't agree and they don't like it.

That happens sometimes with friends, sometimes they dissapoint you not doing something you asked them to do that you thought they would had done, you keep being friends, but you can't forget it...

Must be difficult for MK - as with the tribute stuff it's something that he can't control and that seems to frustrate him.

I wonder if Mark told John what the real reason was but John will not say it officially

I'm quite sure that JI knows the real reason why MK didn't agree to come to Cleveland but John like Guy are never going to say it!!!
