Anyone watch that documentary on Clapton last night?
Dislikeable bloke, but what a genius!
Good to see him wearing his Albion scarf. Wonder if he's given up on us (?) Saw him 40 years ago walking down Brummie Road for a night match.

Yup, saw all but the last 10 or so minutes.
Always loved his style - really gets the 'less is more' thing! Great blues voice too.
Don't get the 'dislikeable' bit tho talkSaft?

I saw Clapton at the NEC a few years back now. He came on, he played, then played again and then he left. He never engaged with the audience once - miserable git.
Contrast that to Neil Young and Crazyhorse who I saw a month later. He clearly was loving it, chatted like mad, engaged the audience and rocked for over 3 hours.

I can never understand spectators stupid actions in the Tour de France, waving fists in front of the riders, running alongside, and behaving like idiots. You can support your countryman/riders, without acting like a demented fool - mostly for the cameras.
Anyone agree with me or not?

As I suspected, Drewksy
(aka Slowhand).
I know you had a strange relationship with your mother: but you hadn't smiled for 50 years; pinched your best friend's wife; and became a junkie-alkie. Good job you're a Baggie!

Agree totally BBB. How or why the spectators don't cause more accidents I don't know.
And yet that woman who caused a severe pile up early on isn't going to be prosecuted even tho they have managed to identify her.
