I was looking for a fansite where people are actually fans of Mark Knopfler. Unfortunately this place is made up of ex-Dire Straits fans who seem to denegrate anything the man does nowadays. Too bad.
Wow. Slow down around the corners man. A healthy dose of different views is never a bad thing. And it’s actually a sign of a living community. AMIT is one of the “liviest” forums I’ve ever seen. Who use forums nowadays, anyway? We use, we're old school. And it’s really cool that you can grasp two opposite views and come up with your own.
I’ve seen forums where people would cry their fingers out of love for their idol, and this is really sad, like North Korea appreciation society.
Mark said he reads left and right newspapers to get the real political picture, so if he would read this forum he would get the real picture of his fan base.
— The infamous setlist problem really bother people (because of the amount of genius songs he can play instead of Done With Bonaparte already)
— Everybody’s looking forward to his new release whatever it might be and Tours always get anticipated a lot despite all the controversy, old songs and jokes
Many of us “know” MK for so long he’s like a “sibling” to us. I’ve never met him, but it doesn’t stop me from dashing and bashing his work like friends do, because for an unbiased end user all that matters is the end result and we want the best from this man here, who’ve made us accustomed to the best in the first place.
