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



True, not knocking the man for not helping out. To me it just seemed like it *Always* needed to be mentioned as part of the 'Eric Clapton Story' since I can remember. . . I didn't mean it as a money making venture.

And yeah, a little diversion has turned into quite the hate fest....reap what you sow phenomenom per chance ?

It would however, be interesting to know the correct details re: invites , declines or disses. After all 'round July, Page already did have other things on his mind...but certainly could've joined me thinks.

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.

There was also a

Clapton and Page because Clapton had "successfully

has "never been said about Jimmy Page."

Yes, Jimmy didn't need to wave that in anyone's face to regain a claim
to fame. Seems like Clapton's made a business out of it.

And I concur with you that Clapton is to me at least, boring. Actually I
will go on record to say that one of the most boring concerts I ever
attended was Clapton not long after Slowhand came out. I mean, I might
as well have sat home and listened to the album. I still liked Clapton,
but it was his unplugged spot and onward that really turned me away from
him.
