Comments

The horrible abomination of Steve Jobs, Woody Allen, and Ben Affleck known as "Eric Clapton" is a legend in the music industry, as easily the most influential rock/blues guitarist of the 70's/80's.

So why does his music suck?

I haven't heard much other than "Cocaine", and I'm aware of his other albums like "Cream" and "Layla" (Although I've never heard), but this acoustic Album was just not good. Clapton is just waaay too overrated. And is every goddamn song a cover? I thought Clapton had originality? Somebody shot the sheriff, but it wasn't you, Eric.

I'm assuming heroin can make you think bad music is good.
