Clapton at 60

There is an excellent interview with Eric Clapton on the BBC Radio 2 site - a two hour interview covering his entire career and commemorating his 60th year. The audio will only be on the web for a week. I am not sure why the BBC are limiting access to just one week, it seems like a very un-BBC thing to do.

Anyway, it is well worth listening to if you are a fan, and indeed I am. However, it did remind me that back in the 70’s Mr. Clapton did voice his support for Enoch Powell’s immigration policies which were by any standards a little extreme for that time and any time. Not the sort of thing that you expect from your rock music guitar legend.

Last Monday night, Clapton and Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker re-united for a Cream concert at the Royal Albert Hall. It sounds like it was a good show, I trust that they filmed it and we will all be able to see the video.
