Forever Man
Really surprised that this is the first Eric Clapton tune in my brain since starting this blog. So far no Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, Yardbirds, or Blind Faith either. I'm sure the Clapton floodgates are now open. Sometimes a great thing, and sometimes a meh thing.

Funny, I hadn't thought about Clapton at all in ages until recently someone posted a series of racist / xenophobic comments he had made regarding immigration to the U.K. I was rather nonplussed.
ReplyDeleteIck. Not nice to hear. Not shocking, though - he never seemed as politicized on the left like a lot of his contemporaries.
ReplyDeleteReturning to this thread from a year ago (!) here's the wikiquote page with a transcript of his racist tirade from a 1976 show. Wow, he's fucked up.
