smartalek1 , over the years I have sought out any information about Mark that I could find and for me it has only made the magic even more magical. He truely is an amazing person and so is his music.
@smartalek1 Funny,.. I've never followed anything else about him for the same reasons I think.. the characters are real people mostly I heard, many lyrics are things that they said
A great artist and story teller. Mark is telling a story in all of his songs, and they all have different characters in different situations I love his playing and his calming voice.
I think these 17 persons have really got problems with their ears! not to like a song like this ,I can't undertand it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! knopler stays forever the best!
If you like Mark's musical atmosphere and guitar playing, check out another wonderful haunting atmosphere in the work of guitar genius Bill Frisell - try "The Disfarmer Project" on You Tube. I hear - and see - a lot of Mark's musical Americana in that piece. It's a wonderful journey, like Mark's work!
Love MK's singing and playing, but what I like most about his songs is that they are all narrative gems - Mark is telling a story in all of them, and they all have different characters in different situations - Mark never resorts to simplistic old "I love you/you love me" "I don't love you any more / you don't love me any more" clichés. Each song has its own narrative and musical atmosphere. Great musician, great storyteller, and a great guy. Makes me proud that he grew up in Newcastle:-)
@iammentallyretarded Don't be ridiculous - it doesn't matter how much you drink in Newcastle, you are NOT an alcoholic :-) If you don't believe me, go to Newcastle and ask anyone if they know any alcoholics - they'll look at you as though you've just stepped off a spaceship :-) Glasgow to Newcastle - the words "frying pan" and "fire" come to mind.....
@BonnieGable DS askt MK if he wanted to get the DS back together for a tour, but MK sayd no. But maby he will change his mind later :) I hope so :) I want to se DS Live :)
An incredible gift to make a simple tune sound so melodic and tinged with sadness. Anotherf guitar hero of mine Johnny Marr has the same gift but MK is a true story teller and unrivelled in my opinion.
Thank you for the amazing concert in Budapest on 4th of July! I think Mark is one of the men teaching us that life can be so much more than just existence! He brings happiness with his music! So perfect! Thanks to him and his team, really dedicated, supertalented people!
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (CDN) — Five Muslims here kidnapped and raped a Christian girl after threatening to kill her unless her father allowed one of them to marry her.
Lazarus Masih said one of his three daughters, 14, was kidnapped on May 29 by five men identified only as Guddu, Kamran, Waqas, Adil and Ali.
Police recovered her on June 6 in a raid on the home where she was being held, though the suspects escaped.
becoming a right royal tosser sorry to say you cant get a photo taken from what ive heard hes worth a cool 80 million what does he give to charity the odd guitar???? id really like to know. that means he worth twice that
Grandpa used to say about farming, 'You can't depend on luck. If you want to depend on luck, then you'd better put your back into it every day, and in that way, you make your own luck."
@DogSwede1 MK has several times hinted, that he probably won't reunite the old band. Though, I would probably by anything released by a reformed Dire Straits...
Can someone tell me why Mark and CHRIS REA have not collaborated on a album , single or feature documentary. How good would it be that two gravelly voiced Northerners and two great guitar heroes would be together before its too late.....someone arrange it please.
Knopfler is one of the "geat" gtr players, who can play in any genre that he chooses. This song puts me in mind of Gordon Lightfoot. I love the Celtic flutes here, as well.
I loved Dire Straits. I love everything Knopfler does. He's never gotten the recognition he deserves. He's not flamboyant or self-absorbed, just brilliant. There is a quiet dignity to this man. Long live M.K.

I always wonder how much overlap there is between Mark Knopfler the man, and some of the characters he creates, the "narrator"s singing the song.
But at the same time, I can't bring myself to listen to any interviews or read too much biographical material about him.
I get the feeling I don't really want to know -- that some of the magic might get lost if I knew too much of the reality.
Can someone pls tell me I'm not the only nutcase who feels this way about his work?
