Also, anyone who says Robert Johnson is the king of Rock n' Roll is a dumbass. Rock n' Roll has it's origins in the 1940's, after Johnson had died. And for any of you who want to argue that Rock n Roll can be traced back further than the '40's, by all means do so, but Johnson still wasn't a Rock n' Roll artist. He was a delta blues man. A more appropriate title for him would be The Godfather/Grandfather of Rock n' Roll.
