Bobby's brother Nate(aka Nat the Rat) used to hang around the vintage guitar store where I worked in the 90s. He was a very colorful character.:laugh2:
Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica, Miami Vice) sang on Eric's solo album.

No way -- Castillo was suppressing Chinese heroin imports into Cambodia with the DEA back in 1970.
Google “Eric Clapton’s AA speech,” it’s on the internet on a recovery website. He tells a great story about what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now.:jim
This is a brave, unflinching, painfully honest self evaluation made public by one of the most influential musicians of our time. I applaud Mr. Clapton. For making public the truth. You can have it all and have less than nothing at the same time and survive to be a normal functional human father, husband, son, friend, guitar player and singer songwriter of the highest caliber. Bravo old friend!
Stealth post? :wah

I guess it was removed, it worked up until a couple of days ago.
Yes, stealth post. The text color is set to black. Select the text to see it.
What really has started to get under my skin though is how they use footage to either simulate a "recording session" i.e. "Gently Weeps" cutting scenes from Let It Be in with footage from the Stones' R&R Circus, or to supposedly convey some sort of emotion. I'm pretty sure the footage they looped in slomo when he was talking about how Layla failed to win over Patti was from the Hendrix doc from 1973. Well after the fact of all that. I don't know. It just felt fake and like I was being manipulated.:spabout
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
