For The Record: Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler says he can't think of anything good about fame, which is one reason he dissolved his hit band, Dire Straits, when they were at the peak of their success in the 1980s. But he continues to make music, most recently with the album "Down the Road Wherever." And as he wraps a tour of America, Knopfler sat down with Anthony Mason to talk about the music he has written, for himself and others, and why he calls it his obsession.

I like 70's hard rock and guys like Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi & Ritchie Blackmore but Mark is equally wonderful. He has this thing and I dont know what it is. Maybe its because he plays right handed even though he's left handed or maybe its the way he uses his fingers. I can listen to Mark all day in the same way I can listen to the guys I've previously mentioned.

Saw him last night (9-21) here in Phoenix. While he has slowed down a bit since the last time I saw him in 1992 (he was still with Dire Straits then), he continues to play like no other. He jokes about how the rest of the band is better than he is, but I'm sure every single one of those guys wishes they could play like he does. They did mostly his new material, but then did Your Latest Trick and On Every Street and the place went crazy. And for the first encore....Money for Nothing. It was a good night, a very good night.

[@jm1mchp]

Saw him at Benaroya in Seattle in 2001 'cause he wasn't coming to Phoenix that tour. My absolute favorite guitar player, he literally makes a guitar sing rather than just play. I love many other players, but Mark is unique and a genius with that instrument. Wish I could be him for an hour.

Skin tingle? I used to own a high-end stereo system with a turntable. It would take me a good half hour to regain my composure after hearing Sultans of Swing from Alchemy on vinyl. Knopfler's guitar and Terry Williams' drumming are out of this world on this album, but especially on this song.

Six years ago my wife was successfully finishing her series of cancer treatments. Was with her for her last appointment because I wanted to thank her oncologist. He said he'd gotten to see his favorite guitar player, Mark Knopfler. My wife rolled her eyes and pointed to me. He said, "You like Knopfler?" I said, "He's my favorite guitar player. Something about the way he plays speaks directly to my heart." Turned out, he and I had seen the same concert. Time constraints went right out the window for that appointment.

His guitar playing style is unique, he can make your heart feel whatever he wants with it. The melody of his music, the actual musical path each melody takes is mesmerizing. But his greatest genius is there can be thousands of adorers in the stands, who can hear the words, know what they are, and not come close to really understanding where they came from and what is underneath them. You have to WANT to do some of the work yourself. One simple example is Haul Away. A truly difficult one is Heart Full of Holes, which he is performing on this tour. Robert Frost nor Emily Dickinson had anything on him as a wordsmith, a teller of tales.

If he knows that Dire Straits' music have an effect on people, like me, he must know that I was expecting just a few songs in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, to remind me that feeling when I was a kid when I first listen his songs and now I enjoy his solo career. It was just a moment, not a tour. It was so many years ago, when I walked many times in the rain to go to my friend's house because I didn't have a VCR to record his videos, that I, who am from the old school, see them again, at an opportunity that might never happen again, it would be worth seeing at least one last time. And sometimes I think he sabotages himself because of the fame thing, I feel that he can't do more, not commercial though, but better stuff, which I feel he evidences in the interview.
