Eric Clapton

Denver Broncos Cheerleader Renee. ‘You know the sun is shining; it's raining in my heart. I don't know what to do since we've been apart. Why don't you tell me, babe, what is going on? …….. They're tearing us apart, They're breaking up my heart. I knew it from the start: Your friends are tearing us apart’. (ERIC CLAPTON) Hear ‘TEARING US APART’, ‘She’s Waiting’, ‘Before You Accuse Me’ and ‘Bad Love’ by ERIC CLAPTON at http://sportsblognflbybubba.podomatic.com These s... MORE

This isn't the most musically relevent post in Mog's history...but this is my new dawg!

Eric Clapton has been invited to play a concert in North Korea, despite the country’s nuclear ambitions being a cause for international concern. The guitar legend is provisionally set to play the state capital Pyongyang in 2009, having agreed to the idea "in principle" reports the BBC. Clapton's performance would be unusual as rock and pop are forbidden in the isolated state, because of their Western influences. Classical music, on the other hand, is very popular... MORE

On October 9th Clapton will release both his aptly-titled autobiography Clapton: The Autobiography and double-disc career-spanning album Complete Clapton. Complete Clapton begins with Clapton's guitar career in bands like Blind Faith and Cream. Songs from his 40 year repertoire, which garnered 18 Grammys, also include his solo work beginning with his 1970 self-titled album and ending with 2005's Back Home Selections off his collaborations with B.B. King (Riding With... MORE

Eric Clapton at the Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT. This is the second time I saw Clapton in Hartford, the first was on the Journeyman tour in 1990. At the time of this show, I was actually kinda disappointed and since then I always preferred the 1990 show... I recently acquired this recording, though, and the show is much better, much ballsier, than I remember it being. I poked around on some Clapton fan sites and it seems to have quite a reputation with the fans... MORE

Clapton + Dylan How could you go wrong? Always worth another listen

Eric Clapton at the Civic Center in Hartford, CT on April 12, 1990. This is the first time I saw Clapton live and I really dug this show. Clapton was out in support of the Journeyman record which had a bunch of radio hits and really kick-started him into the 90s...I sort of lost my interest in Clapton as the 90s progressed but man, what a career. Having major (and numerous) hits in 4 or 5 decades is no small feat... The line-up for this tour, in addition to Clapton, wa... MORE

I finally finished the first draft of my dissertation today. It's just the first draft and there is more to do, but it's a huge weight off my mind. And this is the song that has kept me going over the past two days. I don't know why. It just worked out that way.

On this day, March 30, 1945, Eric Clapton was born in Surrey, England. On his 13th birthday he received an acoustic guitar. It turned out to be a good gift.

From Publishers Weekly Readers hoping for sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll won't be disappointed by the legendary guitarist's autobiography. How do you cram forty years of rock 'n' roll into under four hundred pages? I liked the book. However, I didn't feel that there was any groundbreaking revelations presented. I guess if you live your life as an open book, it leaves it harder to write one. I'd like to hear what others who have read the book have to say.

Guitar legends including Buddy Guy, B.B King and Clapton himself played for about 28,000 at Eric Clapton's second Crossroads Guitar Festival on Saturday. Held in Bridgeview, Illinois' Toyota Park, just outside Chicago, the event lasted 11 hours with promising artist like Robert Randolph, Beck and John Mayer also on hand with their axes. The sold out event shadowed 2004's inaugural affair that lasted over a two-day weekend in Dallas, Texss, and raised money for Clapton's ... MORE

Hey, you! Yes, you who are about to shove your finger down your throat. Stop. This isn't about the song. It's about the performance, and not even Clapton's performance. There are some great musicians who are comfortable enough in their own skin to step aside for a moment, and let other, not-well-known, artists have a moment, in the spotlight, to let their talents shine. Clapton has always appreciated other musicians, and, aside from his own music, I think one of hi... MORE

Anybody else catch this review by Stephen King of "Clapton"? "Most A.A. meetings begin with the chairman offering his qualifications at the head table next to the coffee maker. This qualification is more commonly known in the program as the drunkalogue. It’s a good word, with its suggestions of inebriated travel, and it certainly fits Eric Clapton’s account of his life. “Clapton” is nothing so literary as a memoir, but its dry, flat-stare honesty makes it a welcome antid...
