Mark Knopfler: “I think it’s fantastic recognition, it’s really cool to be in the Hall of Fame. The thing I objected to was being told how it was all going to be done. ‘You’re going to do this, then you’re going to do these interviews.’ I thought, ‘No, I’m not.’ It wasn’t my way of going about doing something like that.” www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mark-knopfler-interview-the-dire-straits-frontman-on-his-new-album-down-the-road-wherever-s9993qtdb

There's another guy named Robert Smith we all know is sort of shy. In Mexico 2008 he appeared at a Latin MTV award, media let him feel awkward so he said "I did it fo the fans, but these are not the things I like and I've confirmed it". And when RRHOF inducted The Cure there's a famous meme regarding he's not comfortable with the way he was being interviewed...and in the acceptance speech he was very polite, he performed awesome but he (and the NIN guy that said a marvelous speech too) used other words to confirm what he said in 2008. To me that's true humbleness. I wished Mark Knopfler could have tolerated the protocol or what he didn't like of being a star...maybe he doesn't need ceremonies but for the fans and for his fellows who really deserved a moment of greatness after all those years.

@@lynnepashley4281 Thanks. The guy who introduced Dire Straits to me swore that his name should be writen "Marc" because of his "Polish" father. Well, it turns out none of that is true. We were kids by then, there was no internet, I had no books, nor did I have money to spend on music. This friend of mine was already a die-hard fan, so I trusted him. I suppose he was just trying to impress me, or perhaps it was his dreamy subconscious way of passing me the idea that not everybody could grasp the greatness of Mark's music. You know, you could get away with all sorts of nonsense in the early 80's. He was right about the music though, and I'm grateful that he shared his passion with me. I'm not sure why I keep writing "Marc" now. Maybe I'm holding onto those fine memories. :)

Mark listened to the greats who came before him, most of whom regret attending their own inductions. Congrats to Mark for standing with the world of rock in not recognizing these wannabes trying to establish themselves as an actual hall of fame. Who cares who this company puts in their museum? It’s not an honour and no one cares what they think. It’s a meaningless privately owned and operated tourist business without the credibility, background or knowledge to assume authority of an actual hall of fame for rock n roll. They are a small group of journalists and investors. None of their opinions matter to anyone who knows music, in particular the bands they induct. As Jack Black said in School of Rock, it’s about sticking it to the man. This museum is the man - they are profiteers cashing in on other people’s work that they neither understand or appreciate. And congrats to Steve Miller for his honest speech. He spoke for everything sacred in rock when he humiliated this company.

Exactly. Fan vote would have some validation. Peer vote would be as good or even better. But these self-appointed guys and their private selection means nothing to anyone who has a clue. I believe it was Lennon or Dylan who said even if there were 500 voters deciding who was to be inducted in a real rock hall of fame, no one at the Cleveland museum would qualify to cast one of those votes.

I agree with all the comments about Mark making a stand against this arguably farcical award. That said, his bandmates, most of them his lifelong friends, who have dedicated their lives to the Straits, wanted him to be there. John Illsley asked him several times to make an appearance and play. If only for them, he should have made the effort. On this occasion it isn't all about him.
@jayjay-dr9pr4 жыл бұрын
I tend to agree. I'm not mad at his decision, but it would have been cool for them to get a proper induction, if not for his band, do it for the fans. This is my favourite band and it would have been awesome to watch him play or watch people play his songs in tribute to him.

I'm not sure I agree with you or not. But I understand. Perhaps he has his reasons to be a recluse. I do not know. But, like you, I think it is difficult to swallow as a long time fan. Also, he's brother was not there, who was an instrumental part of the band in the inception. Strange. The music will live on certainly, and I do think they are vastly under rated, as I have heard them all and love Dire Straits more than most. Shame he wasn' t there.
