The Quiet Man

[Robson]

Mark is a really mysterious guy. He could have made more noise and publicity, and he muted everything. He muted Dire Straits. There was never an official end to DS's career. He was not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He muted his last tour. He didn't call it a farewell tour, although he mentioned that these were his last concerts, but if he wanted to, he would have called it a farewell tour, like Fish and many others. But not Mark. Again, he did it his way and against the prevailing trends. I like this. But it also amazes .
Sometimes I think we don't know Mark Knopfler at all.

Mysterious is the word that describes somebody who actively wants to be perceived as mysterious, Mark just wants to be private and successful. All we need to know is that he is cool. Everything he does is cool (give me an example of something he's done that's NOT cool, human relations aside). It's a very rare and very special breed of people, the ones I have a very deep affection towards. They know what they want, they respect their talent, they stay humble and grounded at all times, and they work hard. Mark deserves to be knighted more than anyone. Hopefully, one day, he'll get this recognition for a lifetime of being cool.

I completely agree.
