23 years since Mark Knopfler's accident, today.

[quizzaciously]

You can barely find a healthy person of any age, let alone a 75-year-old. Everybody has their own damages and weak places, and Mark talked multiple times about having metal things in his body and whatnot, even joking about it, and his recent health status is pretty visible, so I can't understand those saints who again can't discuss it because it's personal. So far, I have not seen anything in this thread that would violate Mark's private life in any way, shape, or form. Just people caring about a famous person they admire.

I had tickets to see MK and EC's charity gig at the Albert Hall in March 2003.

After MK got injured the got Nigel Kennedy in playing terrible, terrible jazz violin. Not even gypsy jazz, Stephane Grapelli stuff, just terrible self indulgent nonsense. One of the worst things I've ever seen.

Then Clapton came on, Eric Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall, pretty good right? Eh, no, he had a bunch of his mates and they played Knock on Wood and Chuck Berry covers, like any band down the pub. Got to hear Gary Brooker singing Whiter Shade of Pale but that wasn't worth flying to London for frankly.
