I completely comfortable with accusing Clapton of any crime on earth.

There is. Or rather, there's one of him saying too-dispassionately that he doesn't think about it anymore, implication of career expediency doing its job.Flex wrote:Unless there's some terrible interview with him where he explains that he wrote the song as a cash-in or something, in which case I take it all back. I profess a lot of "unknown unknowns" on this one.
It's the same interview where he doesn't apologize for his racist statements from the 70's.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: I can't stand the blues
Fair enough.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

I can't give him too much grief about it. So he got over the death of his son some 20 or so years ago and doesn't want to play it anymore?Rat Patrol wrote:There is.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: I can't stand the blues
He had no time for his son when he was alive, which makes the song all the more puke-inducing. Throw in his recent comments about the song and his racist past (not to mention his Live Aid involvement and general shitness) and you have a good case for public disembowelment.matedog wrote:I can't give him too much grief about it.
