What ever happened to Mark KnoplferHe's done a couple of movie soundtracks (don't ask which, I just remember saying "Hunh! Mark Knopfler!").
I'm sure that he could care what PC Canadian Radio thinks of a song that he wrote and performed more than 25 years ago.

What ever happened to Mark Knoplfer? The dude fell off the face of the earth along w/ Dire Straits.Hardly. Knopfler has had a very successful "solo" career, releasing several albums and touring regularly after the dissolution of Dire Straits in 1995.

Knopfler altered the lyrics in the live version long ago in the 90s, removing faggot and replacing it with mother trucker, mother, cowboy, monkey, etc.

Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits is one of the best guitar players in the worldGot that right, and the closeout solo from "Tunnel Of Love" is possibly the best five minutes of music ever recorded.
