Most sophisticated and intelligent musician


Let's stay with not classical musicians.
It's John McLaughlin for me.

Oh I should add that this pic shows him receiving a PHD - yep you read correctly - a guitar god with a doctorate in Astrophysics...
Yes, he was a simple (and a lonely) man, but all others pale in comparison to George Gobel.

George, by the way, did endorse David Byrne to be his living successor.
I have to agree with Gawdbless. It takes a genius to stay alive living the way Shane MacGowan does. Drugs and alcohol
24/7.
Inna : I m sure you have heard of that guy King David. His notiarity, I am sure will outlast that of Garth Brooks as well as Pink. Integellant enough to become king. As well as good enough with a slingshot to render the NRA irrelevant. Many many copys of his lyrics exist today and he has played before Kings as a juvinile.

Do you know an intellegant musician that can top that.
