Colonel Parker just got him a songwriting credit on a lot of other people's compositions as a way of boosting income. <br /><br />I hadn't thought of The Old Magician as a metaphorical autobiography, so that's twice you've changed the way I hear that record.

Faron Young - obviously. There's the songs about 'Elvis' on Jordan, and finally <br /><br />The Old Magician is as blatant a piece of autobiography as any. <br /><br />Like I said, you'd have to bend the rules. Great list.
