Should MK retire from music ?

[ingridswing]

Why should he retired? If someone does not like new songs skip them, don't buy any cd, don't go to gigs,... But please let's others to have fun ...

Best post in this thread!

Agreed. The day I'm asking for Mark to retire, I might need to wonder about retiring myself.

Exactly, if you don't like it anymore. Don't listen, don't go to concerts and also... don't moan about it. In this forum are a lot of people who loves his music till now. So let everyone be happy and enjoy what they like best.

Retire? MK still make great musics. His taste has change from before and maybe you/we have change too. This is not like marriag you know.

No controversy att all!! I simply don't think MK should retire!! But it isn't up to us to tell him what to do... Have a nice summer vacations everybody.

What are you referring to, quizzaciously?

Take a look at Paul Simon. Stil making music at 75 and doing smaller tours (4 weeks) in the US and Europe. His voice in live concerts is stil very good. Perhaps this is also possible for MK when he stays in good health. At this point I see no reason at all for him to stop making new music and going on tour...

Just saying, as I said. But funny, still. See, if you would not stick to the "album only tours" schedule, you have more freedom, even to release an album a year. Anyway, this topic is pointless, I don't get it. My topics was deleted numerous of times, but here nonsense question right there in the title of the topic, I don't get it. Let's discuss wether Mark's gay or not, maybe?

Should Mark retire? Short answer. NO.

You are talking about one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters of all time!! He has been a huge influence on the art of songwriting and guitar playing, he has got more prolific as he gets older, he can do everything, sing, write lyrics, compose music, play guitar, he is quite simply one of the greatest musical artists the world has ever known!!! He doesn't have to do it, but he loves to do it, it's a compulsion with him, it has been his life's work. The day Mark stops making music will be a very sad day. I remember the likes of Hank Marvin and Mike Oldfield saying they had gone into retirement, but they both released new albums this year, I think if you reach the level people like that do, you never retire. I think as fans we have been spoiled by Mark over the solo years, and long may it continue.

Because question was retoric?

I don't care. I think topic is good. MK is great music man and should not retire because he create art for art and not for money. I will like another format for concert and other setlist, but MK is superstar and has curse of mandatory hits. Shorter concert tour and smaller place is better for him now.

Agree 100%. 

I am so grateful that MK is writing and performing, and cannot imagine otherwise.
