I´m pretty sure that if Jesus ever comes back he´d be a pretty kick-ass songwriter

"From Guatemala to Graceland to be with the King" to paraphrase the anti-king.  Clown

I am one of the poor schmucks who's been to Graceland more than once.
 
And I envy you for that... I wish I could take my mother to Graceland sometime... she was in love for the King...
 
Now, from the least, Lennon was something like a "transition King" while he only enjoy from the crown for about 3 years... I guess McCarney should be the king... but I'm not sure, nobody could fit the shoes of the only king...

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

If this is about Rock 'n Roll then John Lennon is the best option.

^ That's why I nominated Zappa.  Nearly everyone's heard of him even if they didn't particularly like his music.

Not every king in history has been popular. Wink

With both Thompson and Bruce Cockburn the most amazing thing for me technique-wise is the total independence of the right thumb from the rest of the fingers on the hand.  Its almost impossible to make your thumb "just go" like that while all these other complex patterns are being undertaken by the rest of the fingers.  I either get a cramp in my had or one in my brain.  Either way I crash and burn long before the end of a tune.

You should check out Cockburn's "Speechless" album for a true fingerstyle clinic.  Its just beyond words.

Richard Thompson may in fact be the evil anti-Elvis as prophesied by Mojo Nixon.
 
I love Richard Thompson, but talk about left brain vs. right brain musician.
