After The Beanstalk -Great text. I did not immediately understand what Mark meant

After The Beanstalk - Great text. Words and music are compatible. I did not immediately understand what Mark meant

What he meant?

What he meant?

you obviously know,  tell us

[Robson]

Mark in this song talks about Dire Straits. Of course, he does it his way. The song is not in the style of Dire Straits. This is just my opinion. But there is no other interpretation for me.Text and music do not quarrel

[Robson]

Musically it is far from Dire Straits but it poetically refers to the band. Classic Mark Knopfler.

[Stanko]

I do not know,  i just feel it

[Robson]

Me too

Though I am a big critic of (dire straits) legacy, I´d say this is a fair statement.

Fair, but late statement. And he forgets that the critics are not towards the Legacy project (what's wrong with making an album of new songs, really !) but against the "Straits" project, that has been during for years. And the critics are not even against this project per se, just the attitude of confusing people with the DS name and stating that "MK was maybe not such an important part of DS after all".
As I said, had they started with the Legacy album in the first place, there would have been no hard feelings at all. Just the enjoyment of having something new in the DS universe, like JI's albums. Just like those, MK could even have helped and endorse them on his official website !
So guys, we are not complaining about your present but about your past...
As for 3CT being about Phil Palmer.... Really ? "You made a lot of ennemies along the way", this is about yourself ? Hard to believe... Why not having the courage to admit that MK is the target ? It is true that TOTT was pretty harsh...

[Robson]

It's True.

[Jules]

Any sessions musicians makes friends and enemies along the way. Very often you are fighting for a session work against other sessions musicians and sometimes there is someone that always takes some jobs you thought there were yours...

First Toto singer, Bobby Kimball, when he was sacked from Toto, was substituted by Fergie Fredericksen, and was more mad about this than to be sacked, because Fredericksen has been chasing Kimball bands from the  beginning, taking some jobs that were for Kimball and taking his role in the bands he was leaving. So it can be said that Fergie made some enemies in his musical career...

I'm sure that Palmer and many others session musicians had fought for jobs with other sessions musicians and sometimes he won, sometimes he loses. That's how some works are.

[Eddie Fox]

Now that's a pathetic statement from Phil. So suddenly DS is the best band in the world and MK is a friend, I see. For years this guy bitched about Mark, even calling him an ogre, never really praising his time in the band. I'm not buying it.

And Phil, if you're reading this, as the musical director of your band, get yourself a proper singer. At least someone who can sing and give interviews in english. Other than that, good album with some pretty decent tunes.

Very well said and I'm waiting for a statement from MK regarding the setlist controversy

[Robson]

I thought Alan Clark was the manager of the confusion 

[dmg]

Curious he feels the need to do this unless it's an ad for the new record and tour.
