    Mark is in good shape in his 70's. Here we have a man who went stadium size with his band and walked away. Didn't develop a drug problem, never went to rehab, doesn't complain about the toughness of showbusiness. Just loving doing what he does. And I love listening to him.

      Good things about fame?
      How about practically limitless income, never having to worry about jobs, the economy, credentials, bosses, bills, debt, grinding away your life for a trivial amount of money, and all that other bullshit that comes with being a conventional working stiff?
      Look, I've always loved Dire Straits, they're a band I can enjoy even though I've listened to their tunes a zillion and one times since I was very little. When I've really overloaded on them and can't listen anymore for a while, I can enjoy just contemplating the existence of their music, without having to listen to it!
      But come on, there's nothing NOT good about being rich and famous. The two go together, and as someone who's had to get jobs and work for a living, nothing pisses me off quite like people complaining about it!

      Mark, like many musicians know that there is an enormous pool of musical talent present on a global scale. It's not just humility. It's being honest and realistic. Many of the "pop" and "rock and roll" musical stars that have sold a lot of records through popular bands or in the solo area, are often placed on an unrealistic and over elevated platform. They understand this because they are aware of the musical talent out there that is almost totally unknown to the public.
      Having said that, I have seen Mark Knopfler many times over the past decades - in Dire Straits and also playing solo.

    I think he's better than Hendrix or Clapton his guitar sounds like heaven to me.ever since money for nothing.I'm pretty sure that came out in 84 but his lesser known stuff slower songs are really great like single handed sailor kick ass maybe it's because I'm half Scottish.I didn't know he was till now..long live mark

      hendrix was great in stage but its more spectacle than music or melody, clapton is a blues man, he is great but his style is limited to blues , not realy but almost, knophler is more versatile and has a sweet playing, he makes melodys , to have a great thechnique in guitar is not all you can have, you can be a medium guitarist but you have a sweet playing, sorry for my english hahahha

      I think so too. If you haven't already, you should check out the music he made with Chet Atkins, another guitar legend. It's more country style, but they are talking to each other with their guitars, just heaven. At the time, Chet was already an old man, he's been dead now for several years. I hope Mark stays with us for a long time still, treating the world or just himself (if he retires) to some of the most beautiful music ever made

    Love Mark, love Dire Straits. I have since I was about 3 years old. Just saw him on the Down the Road Wherever tour on the 22nd of September. That was my first concert and I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather have seen for my first concert. My dad was supposed to go with me because he’s as big a Knopfler fan as I am, but he got sick and couldn’t go. I ended up taking a friend who knew nothing about Mark Knopfler, aside from when they played “Money for Nothing” as an encore. But it ended up working out really well and she became a fan after that single show. Mark’s just always been a great musician and a great guy. Rock on

Good example is,”When You Leave.”Tom Walsh is on trumpet 🎺 and does an amazing job. Of course, Mark Knopfler’s guitar playing goes without saying, just as brilliant as he ever has been.We highly recommend it.🎧

    I really need to see Mark soon. I missed a chance to see him many years ago to with Chet Atkins (yes, Chet Atkins) at Café Milano in Nashville in the nineties. I knew Chet would be there, but according to my friends there, this "other" guy stepped in and Chet only said hello to my friend Mark. They raved about the collaboration. One of my great regrets in life.
