    in the age of celebrity the most fitting sobriquet for the supreme leader.
    
    They both have a fascination with trains.
    
    Could they share a tendency to megalomania?

      I don't know if MJ really had megalomania..... He was given and paid so much, because he was so popular, but I wouldn't necessarily suspect megalomania or even greed, in this case. (Although I think he was surrounded by ghastly greedy individuals.)

        Megalomania (from the Greek word μεγαλομανία; megalo-, meaning large, and mania) is a historical term for behavior characterized by an obsession or preoccupation with wealth, power, genius, or omnipotence—often generally termed as delusions of grandeur or grandiose delusions. Megalomania denotes an obsession with having and/or obtaining, grandiosity and extravagance (especially in the form of great fame and popularity, material wealth, social influence or political power, or more than one or even all of the aforesaid). It may be a symptom of manic or paranoid disorders.[citation needed] However it is not considered a distinct mental disorder of itself according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
        -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Taken from:
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalomania with the required reservations about the source.
        
        Without the power derived from his fame, most of his biggest missteps would not have been available to him, in my opinion, notwithstanding his ability to pay for his extravagances, the fame allowed him to believe he could do anything he wanted and not be held accountable as anyone else would have been. everything he did, since it was HE doing it was acceptable.
        
        Personally, I find greed an disagreeable aspect of someone's personality but far from the most fatal of flaws. Feeling powerful is a far more dangerous flaw as it leads one (we can only hope) on a path of their own destruction. Hubris.

      Some people might think that "A" is capitalized for a different reason..... [-;
      
      There are probably hundreds of 12-year-olds that can play comparable guitar licks..... The key is who gets seen by the right people........

        True, and it's quite possible that Joe Bonamassa may have given this lad lessons in a guitar workshop (he does give blues lessons at schools around the country as part of his program to expand blues appreciation) and lots of encouragement. Food for thought.

          Limbaugh plays lots of music on his show..... So we wackos aren't tempted to turn it off and play the stereo...... [-; (The singer in this clip is not pitch-corrected.)
