Thanks hunter, I was hanging on Bill's every word - it was so long and drawn out too, but very enjoyable. I could just picture them both sipping tea very gentilly - I had to smile!
Great interview, yes. I like how everybody who worked with Mark has this sort of grotesque admiration, clearly showing huge respect to the guy, but at the same time always hinting that "he's kinda strange sometimes". Like here, Bill was so upset about Mark's decision of not letting him mix On Every Street record, that he tracked him on tour! Quite insane. What I learn about all these stories, is that with Mark you got to think real fast. Or else he outruns you and leaves you on the side of the road, for which I can't blame him actually.
And I always knew Vince Gill regrets not joining Dire Straits. Another sign of not thinking too fast with Mark. Vince probably thought it would be a bad career move for him, but for all we know, he plays in Eagles now. If I were him, I would prefer Dire Straits
Come on people, if Mark asks you to do something, just do it!
