I can't tell you how little I care about Clapton's CD of Robert Johnson covers coming out tomorrow. I think Clappy was excellent in Cream, and when he was spurred on by Duane Allman in the Dominoes he was powerful. But I think he had his spine removed somewhere around the time he released "Wonderful tonight"
indeed, lizard--i despise clapton. i wonder, though, if he's playing good songs (stuff he didn't write)...he IS talented, even if he usually wastes it.
