Aside from that fact that I usually don't engage in such discussions, I don't care whether someone feels that way. And I'm pretty sure that none of the regulars on this forum would be very concerned about it either.

Perhaps the best suggestion would be that they go tan their perineum.  While they're looking it up, you can exit the conversation and leave.   ;) ;)

I think you have a valid point. Except maybe not for the perineum part.  If this kind of thing keeps up, some people I fear are going to end up with the perineum tanning blues.  .

It has nothing to do with anyone here.  But I'd advise not getting into any discussion with anyone who thinks that everything Clapton did before, during and after Cream was perfect.  To some people the "Clapton is God" slogan is evidently serious business.  Honestly, I was unaware of that.  Some things you have to learn the hard way.

I also liked the part where the girl began to panic because she thought she might violate her probation.  And on the second strike she would have to go to Missouri a year, work at Bath and Body and let her roots grow out. Maybe it was a little funnier to me, though, because I used to live in Missouri.

That's right.  People should do whatever they want as long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's rights.  I'm certain Clapton is pleased he didn't take advice from me or someone like me.  Because I disliked all his hit songs as a solo artist, even his cover versions.  If he had asked me, I would have told him there were better songs he could do.  But I certainly liked Cream and Blind Faith and have spent plenty of money buying CDs of those bands.  There is a new Cream 4-CD set coming out soon and, of course, I want to get that, too.  It won't be released until February, though.

I'm paraphrasing him, but my friend yesterday had some observations about Jack.  He said it was hard for him to find his footing after Cream.  His jazz was over the head of most rock fans, but it didn't quite fit into the Miles Davis crowd, either.  Jack experienced frustration for various reasons.  His supporters which continued to follow him were  mostly hardcore Cream fans.  Where my friend and I differ most is he likes the "Things We Like" album and I can't even listen to it.  He dislikes the Silver Rails album and I continue to like it more each time I listen to it. 

My friend also has a lot of insight into Ginger that I just don't have.  I loved his drumming, but it's doubtful I could have ever been on much of a first name basis.

Very good of Eric, and it benefits a charity.

Yes, I agree it just seems like a straightforward effort on the part of Eric to honor Ginger's memory.  That fact that it helps charity is good, too.  He is just trying to help out.  I have a friend who reads about everything that's out there about Eric, Ginger and Jack. He said the main reason that 2005 reunion occurred was simply because Eric realized Jack needed the money.  Now all that's left, of course, is for him to pay tribute to Jack and Ginger.

Dave Holland (the drummer), not Glenn Tipton-related, I was unaware of this new twist:

The English criminal court system by and large works, but no criminal system is foolproof. If you died before being able to prove your innocence, it's especially bitter.

Wow, it sounds like quite a lot of reasonable doubt.  Of course it's true I'm a believer in Blackstone's Ratio.

That is exactly how I feel about it.
I saw Robert Kearns perform live with Cry Of Love. He had two SVT heads plus two 8x10 fridges. And he used The Triumph aka les Paul Bass. I was/is the best bass sound I had ever heard.
It was the moment and place where I decided I needed a Les Paul Bass too.

That's just good taste.  Something, unfortunately, which can often go against the prevailing trend.

Especially when you have an awesome bass player in the band by the name of Robert P Kearns (who in this video is the fifth guitarist)

Notice what he says here in the section "Why Epiphone and Gibson instead of Fender?"  I also noticed he made some comments about Carl Radle and Willie Weeks influencing his style.  That can only be a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

It was all sounding awkward except toward the end when Joe Walsh started playing "Walk Away."  And Sheryl Crow would definitely be better off playing something other than a P bass.

I agree.  I am waiting for this (on CD) which has just been released and will arrive in the mail soon.

I listen to Disraeli Gears on vinyl. Now that's old fashioned.

Even so it's getting to the point that vinyl is becoming more popular again to the detriment of CDs.  I still try to buy CDs when I can find them.  But definitely fewer places sell them now.  They may eventually fizzle out like cassettes did.  I don't know.  I do have Cream's BBC Sessions on CD, though, which I bought a while ago.

In my continuing quest to learn some German--despite not having much talent for it--I've recently come across this.  Without even looking it up, I'm pretty sure this title says "this summer was hot."  BTW, "Hang On Sloopy" was the first song my first band learned when I was fifteen.  This, of course, isn't the original version by the McCoys, but maybe this is just a later version.  I really don't know.
