Knopfl(os)er

You might know Mark Knopfler. The guy from the dire straits. You might also know David Knopfler his brother, also in Dire straits. Skavenger and Etan were in David's preshow this weekend. His music was ok, not my cup of tea and in my opinion a lot of the same sound, nothing really special.

Anyway, he lost me completely when he thanked the public after the 3rd song by saying "Dankeschön" complemented by saying that he had not been in the Netherlands since 1992. So if you know you are in the Netherlands don't insult your public by speaking German and take at least the effort to consult any Dutch guy with minimal knowledge of English to find out that the word should have been: "Dankjewel!"

In my humble opinion, "Hij kan aufzaltsen!" ;-)

Give the guy a break, at least he made an effort. And I liked the music they played, and the atmosphere they created. Relaxing and inspiring.

Yeah more music to have a chair and relax in. Anyway I don't generally like a concert if I don't know the songs. That makes it all the same, same feeling I got from every song....

And for the German... He did that to make him look cool to the ppl like hey he did the effort... It was no effort at all. The only effort he took was opening his mouth. Everything else was wrong.
