who does this guy think he is?

I remember when Jeff Buckley died. I read about it some place or wait, maybe I read a year or two after he had died on some now-defunct online magazine. That was 1999, i think, he had been dead for two years already like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Although, i came across his music in 2001 and was blown away. He was channeling Nusrat and had this eerie quality to his music. It took me a while to get to that link between Nusrat and Jeff Buckley.
Now, this guy comes and thinks he is brave enough to step into the territory populated by dead giants.
