When I read the title, I thought this thread was going to be about Mark's children
It’s true what MK says about his house in 1980The Camberwell house was a large home on a nice street in a decent neighborhood, without being overly ritzy.It was full of almost empty rooms.A couple of mattresses on the floor. Guitars strewn about amongst makeshift ashtrays and piles of clothing.Such was the application of newly found wealth within a framework of a life in which there wasn’t enough time to think about interior decoration or indeed much of anything else.There was a focus on music and performance and a hunger for recognition and success that superseded all such mundane practices.The first car bought was a black Saab Turbo I remember. Sporty and practical.It was a first installment towards a collection of classic cars that over the years grew to fill the facility of a car dealership .The song Romeo and Juliet was of course a stand-out from the rest of the reportoire, as it strayed from the instrumentation of what had come before on the first two albums.It became an instant classic to all who heard it.One night in Manchester on the Making Movies tour at the Apollo theater, Mark started playing the intro to it on his now world famous National Steel guitar when all of a sudden he burst out laughing.We had never seen that happen before. The usual demeanor being serious and focused and purposeful.He stopped the song, laughed and explained to the audience why he had to stop and regroup himself.He explained…On the previous tour we had two Merchandising guys who were Scottish. Their names were Rab and Norrie .Their accents were so thick that many of us wondered how they could ever communicate with anybody who was not well trained in listening to the Scots, let alone sell them anything.This is what they did however, and they were great guys to have around. Going out for a drink with them on a rare night off was always a good time.Mark told the audience about these men and explained that somehow he had had a conversation about true love and the trials and tribulations of one night stands on the road..It was agreed that sometimes you might wake up with someone you didn’t really know.Rab’s definition of true love however was that when you woke up and looked at the girl waking up next to you, your first words would be ….Good morning Flower 🌺 Having shared this nugget of Rab wisdom with the audience, he then started the song anew.I’m sure that the people who were there have never forgotten that rendition.
Wow, that's just gold.
