If OP was driftingmouse they wouldn't have written anything except "rip" and dropped a link, the literal bare minimum of an obit thread.

Edit: but also lol who gives a gently caress about whoever this guy was.

Gotta be a bummer to be the other guitarist in a band with Mark Knopfler, you'd just feel like you suck compared to him

I've never cared much for Dire Straits, so I am profoundly indifferent to this news, thanks.
