Or the fact that Clapton is FINALLY playing Utah this Fall.
Or the fact that is will cost me my first born to see him.
My bitch is that he is playng the Delta Center! WTF is THAT about? The Delta Center acoustics SUCK! It’s the home court for the Utah Jazz ferhellsake!!!
I suffered major ear strain and confusion trying to determine which song the Stones were playing when they played the Delta Center two years ago. “Huh? Is that Ruby Tuesday? No? Wild Horses? No? Brown Sugar? Shit, I have no idea.”
Why couldn’t he come to the Huntsman Center like the Moody Blues. Now THAT was a good concert! Hell, I would even settle for the E-Center or the Dee Event Center, but Clapton at the Delta Center?!?!?!?! Just my luck.
Fuck.

Would that it were not true, Diane, but the way Eric Clapton has been playing lately, the acoustics might not much matter. Mind you, I’m as big a fan as any, but Eric seems to be dedicated to slow and mid-tempo, low-volume blues and treacly melodies these days. He doesn’t seem to want to rock anymore. Hell, I nearly walked out of Madison Square Garden a coupla years ago upon hearing the VH1 “puttin’ me to sleep” version of “Layla.”
- But maybe he’s changed. Hope you get a good show, even with the acoustics an’ all.

Da - yamn! From the title I expected a _completely_ different thread.

I wanted to know if Eric wasn’t your bitch, whose bitch was he?
And yeah, it’d be nice to see him walk out on stage and blow the strings off the Strat again. Much as I want him to live a nice long life he needs to drink a fifth of Chivas and snort some Peruvian marching powder again- so we could remember what it was like to watch him _ **ROCK.** _
Not that I’m advocating drug use or alcoholisim or anything.

Sorry about the title, not that I wouldn’t want Clapton to actually be my bitch.
Even if they don’t change venues and even if Eric has slowed down a little (Gawd, haven’t we all in our old age?), I’ll be there. I mean shit, it is Clapton ferhellsake! 🙂
