Although, I am pretty sure that Mark controlled David´s playing, because he knew what to expect. He had that strong desire and passion, which helped him to get there where he is now. By the way, have you people ever thought how a book about you would look like?

Well I think that MK is a wonderful human being although his desire to be a successful Musician was so strong that he forgot a bit the meaning of compassion when he was the Leader of Dire Straits!! Now I believe that he stopped DS because it was starting to make him less human!!! Anyway I believe that his Band is pretty lucky to work with him!! MK is showing them total respect and that is priceless!!!

Fortunately, far from everything in this world can be sold and bought. The whole story from its inception was dedicated to the one who passed away five odd years ago, listening to Telegraph Road to the last gasp. And I am not eager to tell the full of it on the public forum.
Thank you for your understanding, he was my son.[/quote I am really so very sorry for your loss Throttle. I can imagine how hard it is. Prayers and thoughts for him, you and your family.
I've recently discovered Dire Straits and am fast becoming a big fan (I know, I know, where has this band been all my life?). Anyway, Mark Knopfler is basically my new hero I've been doing my research, lots and lots of research, and so far what I've heard about MK is kind of mixed, and I wanted to know what your opinions are? I've watched and read many interviews and he always seems so kind, humble and he even seems to underrate himself. He's clearly not an arrogant jerk. But I've also come across interviews with other people, including band mates, where they seem to portray that he might only be putting on a kind show for the cameras, and that he is selfish when it comes to making music. I don't want to believe this, although I know everyone has their flaws, but I would be a little sad if one of my new heroes turned out to be an asshole. I just want to hear all your opinions on this?
