The Quiet Man

Who do you guys think he wrote Terminal of Tribe To about then? DK?

The guess has been always Phil Palmer or/and Alan Clark.

The sentence "you've been faking it so long" links to me to some things Bicknell said about a certain member of the band some wanted out but his talent save him, which in my opinion was Clark, very talented musician and arranger but apparently a personality.

My guess is actually that Mark wrote Terminal as comment on the many bands with no or almost no original members and ridiculousness of keeping the enterprise. That the song fits the DSL / DSE situation I think is a convenient coincidence.

Good thought 

And by the way, fascinating how this thread has evolved. I never would have thought

DS Legacy is currently touring my country and I am curious about the presence of Danny Cummings. I think he is on special terms with Mark Knopfler

Very special.

I guess Danny still wants to play live and earn money.

LE your point of view on this issue is the opposite of what I always thought. For me, the moment he put on the headband was great and cool. It made him stand out and was rock'n'roll. Mark visually looked definitely better than he did during the 82/83 tour.The MFN video would have been impossible without all that. He's an icon of those years. All this stimulated my imagination that I wanted to have and had such an armband myself It was a fantastic time for DS for MK and I will always defend iconic headbands. They were great

No, I'm not having that!    The moment you try to be cool is the very moment you cease being cool.

That is exactly what your profile picture suggests!
