Yeah right.

When a person is famous & wealthy & respected by many,
certain people will hate that person and say ugly things
about them.

You have shown many times that you're the latter sort of person.

Hey - Jimmy apologized for that!

Oh, but then he did it again. Sorry for my rude interruption.

Why do you Bush-Cheney Cheerleaders always refer to
statements of simple fact as "personal attacks"?

Let me put it this way... I have many reasons from the real
world to think that Eric Clapton is not the sort of person
who would leave his own concert in a huff. I have your word
on the internet that he did.

Now guess which one gets more credibility............

What ever happened to Jack Bruce anyway?

After the stint with Clapton in Cream,t hen came Westley, Bruse, and
Lang, then...
Beats me, but here's Jack.

Honestly he may be a celeberity, but honestly, I wasn't ever impressed
by his playing. But I'm sure the feeling would be mutual.....

I don't know how true this is, but back in the day, I knew a studio
engineer who did some mixing on one of the Cream albums. Apparently,
according to his story anyway, the only one in the session on altitude
restriction was Clapton - stone cold sober.


He had his ups & downs, apparently.

He also told me the story of Baker being so stoned he couldn't stand
up, but when they put him in front of his drums, he played it straight
through, then fell off the stool unconscious. :)


Everybody thinks Ginger Baker is dead, probably because of
the way he looked & acted back then, but he's still alive &
playing.

I have seen old concert footage of him being helped into
place behind his kit, and a roady taping the drum sticks
into his hands. Some people probably think that's cool, but
it only makes me think of how much better he could have played.

In that same taped show, he gives an interview where he's
not quite so wiped out, and is sitting behind his drums
smoking a cigarette & idly tapping around on the kit with
the other. Then he got into a demonstration of some of his
techniques, and still smoking a cigarette with one hand,
built up an incredible set of cross-rythms while saying
things like "I don't know why some musicians make such a big
deal out of playing 64th notes, most people can't hear them."


What ever happened to Jack Bruce anyway?

Dunno. He had a great talent but maybe he peaked early.

It refers to JimH's political leanings and his whining that
I was attacking him personally, when all I did was point out
the obvious.

Perhaps I should be more charitable, your explanation that
Clapton could be an utter prince of a guy and still have a
bad attitude for one night, is perfectly credible.

Ah, thanks for explaining your reason for turning to personal attacks.

So it is all about politics with you. My, my.

Oh yes, in fact I get criticised all the time for starting
so many off-topic threads and trying to instigate flame wars
against those who disagree with my politics.
