#eric clapton & friends

[thaern]

One of the many reasons to why George is my favourite musician and artist is the fact that even when he was raised in a small town with many closed thoughts he didn't let that or even the fame construct a image of him as utterly masculine and stereotypical, with his friends (different from Paul) for him showing love to everyone being physically close to them or hugging them no matter the gender, was something normal, a simple act of love.

Just like Olivia once said, George had romantic relationships with all of his friends because he was so full of it that it didn't scared him to show it, being making presents or just giving a hug, he did not let the fragile masculinity and conservative speech stop him from being himself.

And that, for a man raised in the late 50s is something to admire

George and Eric's relationship is endlessly fascinating to me and I can't even begin to try dissecting whatever the fuck was going on between them

In India George had become fascinated by the god Krishna, who was always surrounded by young maidens, and came back wanting to be some kind of Krishna figure, a spiritual being with lots of concubines. He actually said so. And no woman was out of bounds.

Was standing in line at the IKEA food court line and adjusting some of the magazines/45s I brought with me to measure for display and this older lady and her husband behind me saw the Alan Price sheet music I had in my bag and RECOGNIZED HIM. I was making small talk with them about the meatballs always being out and she was like, "What other singles do you have? I saw you have Alan Price in there!" and I was 🤯🤯🤯

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME EVER MEETING SOMEONE IRL IN THE UNITED STATES WHO KNEW ALAN BY NAME. WAHHHHHHHHHHHH yes I infodumped to her for 45 minutes while we ate and showed her my magazines 🙏

Ch 4-The High Cost of Broken Dreams

Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knees

Time can break your heart

Have you begging please

It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust…

When you're in need of love they give you care and attention…

When you're through with life and all hope is lost

Hold out your hand 'cause friends will be friends

Right till the end

Queen-Friends Will Be Friends

I love my husband and I love Jamie, but George Harrison will always be the very first love of my life. I love and adore that man. I miss him… I can’t believe we existed at the same time even just for a short time. I hope our souls meet one day. I love you forever George Harrison.

Only You Know and Everyone Knows: Bonnie Bramlett Turns 80

Delaney won’t be there, as he’s no longer living. But it’s safe to assume Bonnie’s friends will turn out for the singer’s 80th birthday.

The Bonnie in question is Bramlett and she reaches the milestone today, Oct. 8, 1944.

She rose to fame in the late 1960s as the second namesake leader of Delaney & Bonnie & Friends. And what Friends they boasted: Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Dave Mason, Leon Russell and Rita Coolidge to name just a few.

“I was wowed from the first moment I saw her perform … I mean, that voice, that charisma, that soul; she filled that whole room,” Mason said of Bramlett in 2021.

“She’s one of those raw, mega-talents that left me practically speechless, but not without the words to say, ‘Yes’ to joining the band.”

The Blamletts’ marriage - like their group - was a firecracker and quickly exploded. Bonnie went on to a solo career and working as a background singer for Joe Cocker, Carly Simon, the Allman Brothers Band and others.

And while Bramlett never again reached the highs of D&B&F, those who experienced it never forgot.

“You are a north star to many, including me,” Mason said.

Eric Clapton & Friends - Call Me The Breeze (a JJ Cale homage)

[midchelle]

One night during that trip to England, I stayed with Maureen at her London apartment. We talked for hours, drinking Scotch and smoking one cigarette after another. I told her what had happened with Pattie and Eric. She shook her head, the same gently amused smile on her face that George had when I told him the story of what happened with me and Ringo.

She took the cigarette holder out of her mouth and tapped it against the ashtray before speaking the words that summed up all of it, every last ounce of it. “It’s all gone to hell in a handbag, hasn’t it?"

Schlocktoberfest XIII - Day 1: Friday the 13th Part X: To Hell and Back

Friday the 13th Part X: To Hell and Back Full Movie:    *Spoilers Throughout* What’s This About: Camp Crystal Lake is terrorized by Hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees. Again. Here are some of my observations as I watched the film: Music is from Jason Goes to Hell I believe. Man, this VHS transfer is utter garbage. Still better than Jason Takes Manhattan though. Now it’s music from Part 3 (the…
