I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
I blew that Camaro off my back
And drove that little girl away
But now thereâs wrinkles around my babyâs eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home the house is dark
She sighs, âbaby did you make it all rightâ
She sits on the porch of her daddyâs house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me, weâre gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands
Tonight, tonight the highwayâs bright
Out of our way, mister, you best keep
âCause summerâs here and the time is right
For racinâ in the street
The best of Glastonbury series on BBC2 is outstanding
Read up a bit more on this recently. Apparently Rolling Stone had just released a 100 best guitar players list and Prince didnât feature at the business end. Harrisonâs son asked Prince to feature in the tribute. Prince, as is his want, pricked about a bit with the rehearsal but when he landed that night they could see he was âonâ.
Petty told the others to follow him and see where he went. Where he went was other worldly and a performance for the ages. That solo was magical even to a pleb such as I. The guitar toss at the end was the perfect kiss off, that you never saw it land made it more iconic, one of those perfect moment, like Ali, donât throw that final punch.
Clapton was once asked what it was like to be recognised as the greatest guitar player in the world. In fairness to him, the prick, he replied âAsk Princeâ.
Good songs are good songs always. This looks class and the lads look to be on it

That sounds like a rip off of the same question asked of Jimi Hendrix; he replied âAsk Rory Gallagherâ

And the one where Zidane was asked and he replied âAsk Paul Scholesâ .

Clapton must be one of the odious people in music.
From being an alleged rapist, to being an out and out racist and to being a generally boring and overrated musician.
Heâs certainly up there, although that crown is well contested given the amount of nonces and creeps in that industry.
he actually admitted to beating and raping pattie boyd. very hard to reconcile that with the emotions conveyed in layla and wonderful tonight
