Happy 60th birthday to Eric Clapton!

[edbermac]

Considering what he's been through in his life, a near fatal heroin addiction and the tragic death of his young son, he's still rolling along...what they said in the Sixties is just as true today...Clapton is God! Rock on man!

1. he should have hung up his guitar after cream

cream is one of my faves, but clapton post-cream/post-SG bores me to no end. that being said, happy bday!

4. He started to lose it.........

......when he quit drugs.

But, he's still pretty fucking amazing.

Now, Carlos Santana ..................

11. If you think Derek and the Dominoes is boring...

you know nothing about guitar playing--especially blues rock. Clapton and Allman were at the top of their game. Tremendous work and post-Cream.

12. I love that, and I loved 461 Ocean Blvd. even better.

Happy Birthday to George Harrison's "guitarist-in-law." ;)

5. Amazing. Dad and I saw him last year

He makes it look so easy!

To the poster who said he should have hung it up after Cream, are you fucking NUTS?

6. isn't he 58?

I seem to remember he is ten years older than me (my birthday was yesterday)

*never mind* I guess I am wrong. Happy birthday Eric! He has aged quite nicely I think.

8. Born March 30, 1945 according to his own website...

You're not fibbing about YOUR age, are you?

7. He's been a constant in my life ever since I was 14 or so

Thanks for everything, Eric, and I wish you many more productive years to come.
