Well Dan Kelly I couldn't believe my ears when you said that Eric Clapton is an overrated musician. Take note of this: 10 number 1 Billboard albums & 17 Grammy awards, yes 17 and they don't give them out lightly. You obviously weren't around in the sixties when Clapton & et al changed the face of rock/blues music forever. Might I add that to-day's musicians need to pay continual homage to those who have gone before them and not simply brush them off with a backhand. Clapton like many bluesmen before him has suffered personal tragedies and for him to pick himself up and play on is testamount to a great human being.
