"I still believe music can change the world and will. It's real, and with the media in place, it can still develop a powerful wallop."

THIS IS A RICHARD THOMPSON FANSITE ONLY!
While it would be awesome if RT actually could respond, do we really think one of the greatest musicians of the age has time for a MySpace profile? :) If you would like to contact RT, we suggest emailing the moderators of his official site:

These folks are extremely prompt and helpful. We've always had great luck in contacting them.
Excerpt from RT's official website:

Named by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the Top 20 Guitarists of all-time and the recent recipient of both an Ivor Novello Award for Songwriting and the 2006 BBC Lifetime Achievement Award, the iconic British folk rock legend is one of the world's most critically acclaimed and prolific songwriters. His work is admired and recorded by such artists as Bonnie Raitt, David Byrne and Elvis Costello. From his teenage years as a founding member of the 1960's pioneering group Fairport Convention to duo work with his then-wife, Linda Thompson, and over 20 years as a solo artist, to scoring Werner Hertzog's 2005 documentary 'Grizzly Man', Richard Thompson's astounding body of work includes over 40 albums of lyrical wit anchored by such a singular acoustic and electric guitar delivery that Newsweek recently announced, 'like all genuine art, it satisfies completely.'
