All I know is that he somehow manages to make the blues suck-ass.

He was hanging out with Ian Stuart quite a bit back then.

He was just ahead of his time. Wasn't this what the Prime Minister said the other day? ;-)

interesting coming for a guy who made a living plagiarizing music originated by black people.

@econoline was right spot on.
I thought this article was at least somewhat recent, but 35 years ago - from a 'visibly intoxicated' Clapton?
It don't make it right, and I never dug his music...
but c'mon Lindy.
I want to save my outrage for current events.
