Clapton is one of the great blues musicians there is. Even the guys who came before him like Buddy Guy and BB King yield to him. Thanks for the reminder, Pat. Keep up the good work.

Tbomb, people have been stealing their friends' wives since the beginning of time. Right or wrong, there will always be horndogs and sluts. But then choosing to milk your own son's death to resusciate a career that was a few years away from flatlining? That's a billion times worse than hijacking another guy's wife.

I mean, Clapton actually had the Incredible Hulk-sized testicular fortitude to hire an outside songwriter to co-write such an incredibly personal song, and then pimp it on MTV's "Unplugged." It would be totally unprofessional of me to call him a giant douchebag, so I'll just say that he has no shame.

Clapton has always been a helluva bluesy guitar player, but I never could stand his mediocre voice. Also, I have always resented the plain fact that he milked his son's death to revive his career.

I've also always been amazed by B.B. King. Love his playing, love his voice, but he admits that he can't do both at once. That's why whenever he sings, he's just holding his guitar. How can somebody that talented not be able to play a guitar and sing at the same time?
