Dire Straits star Mark Knopfler to auction Brothers In Arms guitars - BBC NEWS

I haven't seen the movie in 25 years. Wiki says the character is William. But there is also apparently a plane crash and the CIA features.

My guess (and it is just a guess) is that these titles relate to music cues from Wag The Dog and not new tracks, but of course I'd be delighted to be proved wrong.

I’ve just been recording some stuff for a little EP, and roads run through all those nursery rhymes.


The article - the interview ends at the most interesting moment.

I'd say that some of the titles that appeared in iswc could be that little ep of nursery rhymes

Interesting! These titles aren't on any MK albums? Big question for Guy!? I should find the courage Lol

I have had a look at the 77 films New Line have in development on there are a couple that could have something to do with those titles, for example the C.I.A. I haven't had the time to check them all, plus there isn't much information anyway.

There is a character called "Schumann" in Wag The Dog, which was produced by New Line Cinema...

Actually those titles fit with things that happens in Wag the dog... The plane crashed in the movie? Schumann was Woody HArrelson character?

I think you're right and those titles fit with being Wag the dog cues, the new line cinema logo has music from MK as far as I remember and all titles make sense with concrete scenes from the movie.

So apparently nothing new in those titles.

Quite a nice interview about the auction on BBC Newshour this morning: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w172z09rywglk49.

Apols if the link is tricky, the show is still on air., but it's probably half way through the one hour show.

Many thanks - I just listened.   It began around 18 mins.

I absolutely love MK laughing at about 22.22

Can I ask for more details?

Of course, but this link is Israel and Hamas

[Love Expresso]

It's in there from minute 18. It''s a complete magazine wirh many themes and topics. MK is one of them, only a few minutes long.

Ok. Thank you LE:)

He'll be laughing all the way to the bank after the auction!

You know what have been really nice?  If he'd have put these guitars in a museum (perhaps at British Grove) for his fans to visit.  He could've added other stuff too and I'm sure Guy and others would have kept mementos from various tours to add.  I know I'd pay to go and see that, and as a permanent display it would be a regular income as well as being a part of his estate.

It's a nice idea but the reality of the situation is that MK is in no way popular enough to sustain interest in a permanent museum. The Beatles could. ABBA have one in Sweden. Elvis has Graceland but even then the numbers are following as his fans die off.

[Robson]

That's not MK's style.
