Actually other people were all over the signature elements of that song. He wrote the main song as a ballad, but his bandmate Jim Gordon and Duane Allman changed it in to the classic rocker we all know. Allman wrote and played the signature opening hook and played the signature slide sections- not Clapton. The piano…

This is maybe one of the most fucking appalling jokes I have ever heard - even under the guise of anti-comedy.
This is only funny to someone who hasn’t for one second stopped to think about how it would feel to lose a child. Fuck this non-joke and fuck people who think it’s funny.

It’s funny how the “don’t believe everything you read on the internet” generation started believing everything they read on the internet.

Thats an interesting take by your dad...cause honestly I feel Hendrix had more memorable songs that he wrote on the 3 albums he made in his lifetime, than Clapton has had in his 50 year career.

Wait, what’s Jenny McCarthy good at?

I remember taking guitar lessons as a teenager and asking my teacher what I was missing with this guy. "Nah man, don't bother." He was right about Jimi ("Axis, man!"), he was right about this.

But Hendrix could write songs like Hendrix.

True that it’s hard to know without being there. But growing up having the choice of Hendrix or Clapton, I never really gave Eric a 2nd glance.

This sucks. And hurts. My father loved Clapton. Worshiped at his alter of guitar playing to the point of handcrafting his own amp to duplicate the amp Clapton used on the legendary John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album. Owned multiple Strats, of course. Could play pretty much any Clapton solo note for note.

Conspiracy theories make dumb people feel smart and let people shop for what they want to hear instead of the truth. It’s a pervasive problem that is getting worse; Clapton is just one of the higher profile dummies.

Fuck him anyway. Never felt that “Clapton is God” stuff made sense. He’s good, but in a robot-programmed-for-the-blues kind of way.

Why would you run this piece before Levar Burton hosts?

I mean, I kind of think it’s okay to fine her for not doing that aspect of her job as well, mostly because I’m sure Osaka can easily absorb those fines. But generally speaking, I am bothered by the idea that when someone says “Hey, this tangential part of the job that isn’t really necessary is having a deleterious…

Every job has unpleasant and awful aspects that are a part of it (harrassment, especially those aspects coming from media, is obviously wrong, and the reporters asking those questions should be unemployed. I am only linking this to actual respectful writers). It’s still a part of the job.

Protected from incriminating each other, yes. Protected from lying to the cops about the identity of the murderer and conspiring with your husband to attempt to kill his brother in order to complete the cover up- NO!!!! WHAT THE FUCK????

I said that exact thing right after Lori’s line - “and I would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for those meddling kids!”.  My husband looked at me like I was insane.  

The biggest contrivance that I can’t square is, if Billy and John both know who really killed Erin, and if the whole point was to frame Billy for the murder, what the hell was the point of John getting Billy to say to him that he killed Erin?  It made no sense, because John didn’t need to hear it, because he knew it…

I kind of presumed some would push back on the Ross kid being guilty of the murder, but while watching while it was unfolding, so many fragments of scenes earlier in the series started to make more sense, because without the context, they were just odd and curious. I didn’t think it a cheap twist especially given how…

We’re still a decade away from the societal decay that will allow your idea to come about.
