RE: Eric Clapton Guitar Crossroads Chicago....WHERE WAS JIMMY

[Eddie Lombardi <elombardi70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well Clapton did set up a clinic in the Bahamas for addicts. He doesn't make 
money from it and has done several benefit concerts to help fund the clinic 
although he hasn't done one for some time.  It is an expensive program but no 
more expensive the the typical clinics for people with money.  

Don't you all think everyone is being a bit harsh on the man based on a 
supposed non invite to a blues jam and the fact that he might not be the 
biggest Zep fan in the world?

Just my 2pence worth.
