King is nowhere near as good as Reznor and never will be. He's a popular author, sure, he's a best-seller, but so are Dan Brown and James Patterson. Can you imagine Dan Brown writing a piece on Salinger?! And my analogy was apt, because King is not in the same league as Salinger, and he never will be. Maybe if they'd approached Haruki Murakami or John Irving the piece would have made more sense.
I can easily imagine him writing a book to prove that J.D. Salinger is descended from Mary Magdalene and Jesus of Nazareth.
