Then, there's this guy:

Check his schedule. Go see him. Amazing.

Pah - another Clapton wannabe.

Dime a dozen.

You've seen him?

I've heard him - that's enough.

I don't do concerts.

Neither do I, at least now. In my earlier years I have seen some
extraordinary talent including Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton (he walked off the
stage mid concert because the venue [the Richfield Coliseum] was only 1/2
full), BB King, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen and Santana.

I was also able to talk to Chuck Berry when he walked through the crowd at
Tower City prior to his show there in the 1980's.

Here is Rolling Stone's ratings of all time best guitarists:

What Kurt Cobain is doing in the top 12 is beyond me.

I don't do concerts.

You're both toothless old farts then. How the heck can you
pretend to know anything about music if oyu don't go see it
played?

I do not believe that for a second. That would be very
unlike him.

Clapton is rather modest and very dedicated to his
profession. He plays guitar (when asked to by the music
director) in church, for gosh sake.

Why not, they put Johnny Ramone and Tommy Iommi on there
too. I think they were running short of names to come up
with 100. If asked, Kurt would probably give up his spot to
Derrick Bostrom anyway.

Don't believe it? I could care less. It happened. And I was there.
Perhaps there is some record on the net of this happening.........and
it did.

He apparently was not modest and dedicate at this concert. His
feelings were hurt because of the poor turnout and he and his band
walked off mid concert.......****ed.

Richfield Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio. Late 1970's to early 1980's.

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.

This is too funny.

Yes Doug, I am now saying this because he is famous and wealthy.
ROTF!!

Believe it or not I actually like Clapton and have since his early
years........why else would I have gone to his concert in the late
'70's/early '80's at the Richfield Coliseum?

Wow, we not enter into personal attacks because you do not believe my
story. Why am I not surprised? Oh yes, because you have shown many
times that you are that sort of person.

Have a great evening Doug. ;-)

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............

Jim, how many times have you shown here that YOU are "that sort of
person"? Going off on another of your monthly period bipolar rants?

Hey - Jimmy apologized for that!

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

I can believe it. He's not a natural born prick, but sometimes , some
things can torque a guy off, and stuff can end the wrong way.


Santana walked off the stage before, also. He was a great guitarist.
Not the best, but great just the same.
