Clapton falls in that dull catagory for me too. Loads love him. That's fine. He knows one end of the guitar from the other... but as I have said more than once on this hyar list... he don't do nothing for my soul. And frankly, "If You Fall Out A Window Can I Write A Hit Song About You" just sickens me. I understand he's grieving and cathartic... but to me that's a personal thing. You wanna do something about it Eric, donate the proceeds of that song to the local housing authorities and town councils so they can put screens or similar sorts of safety covers in the windows of tall buildings. (Just a thought. I'm gonna get flamed for this ain't I?)>> Mmm. . . flamed? Nah. But I disagree a bit about "Tears in Heaven" (the song referred to above, as I'm sure most people know). Actually, I wouldn't presume to know whether or not Clapton was selfishly motivated to write, record and release the song, but I *do* know that it resonated with me at a time when I was grieving over the loss of a loved one (which happened around the same time that song came out). So, that he was able to share that experience was a powerful thing for me, and probably for others, as well. Maybe it was just something he felt like he needed to do and he didn't give a damn if it meant anything to other people. Either way, I think it took some courage. By the way, I'm not a Clapton fan, in general. I like a decent amount of what he's done -- great guitar playing with Cream, "Layla" is an incredible song, he did some good stuff in the 70's, and that's about the extent of it.

Clapton needs horror in his life to make his best music. Whether it's heroin addiction, love for George Harrison's wife or a son dying.

Who'd a thunk it? ;) "I'd rather see you dead" and "run for your life if you can" are violent images, but Clapton's and OK, Young's perhaps, are moreso. Also, Lennon was majorly on drugs when he wrote that.

My "fear of schmaltz and other strange vernacular phrases" indicators lit up when it came out, but it became rather clear to me that he wrote the song and didn't try to craft it into something bigger than it was. I feel like I should believe him when he said he had no belief or desire for the song to be a hit, he just needed to get that off his chest. I'm sure your not alone in that identification of feeling, I'm just not quite right next to you. >Clapton needs horror in his life to make his best music. Whether it's >heroin addiction, love for George Harrison's wife or a son dying. Seems >like all his best stuff has a personal emotional upheaval at the source. I suppose that all creative people need something to draw from. I also have to try hard to avoid coming down on somebody for his/her popularity. There's probably some really valid songwriting that makes it to the hit stations and artists- it's pretty easy to throw it all wholesale into the dumpster. That said, he does seem to miss my taste buds. Here's a little historic reflection of what happened to Clappy. I think that much of his heroin years brought out album after album that sounded like they were recorded under water with radio shack mics and under heavy novocaine... Imagine spending a great deal of time addicted to heroin and waking up one day to find out that nobody remembers you. When you went into your fuzzy hazy world, nearly every white boy thought you were god. When you came out they only talked about some Fang Halen or Al Dime E. Ola. I think he has since worked steadily to understand the roots of his music, and hasn't spent a drop of piss to reach my recollections of him. I hafta say I respect that- yet don't buy his CDs. It also impresses me that someone having that waffle iron quality to his voice and face may successfully make it to pop stardom. I actually do think he does a lot with a fairly low grade vocal instrument, that is to say Subject: Re: Film Oldies Quiz On Wed, 24 Jun 1998, JH3 wrote: > I don't really like quizzes, but what the hey...
