Really? Eric Clapton? A racist? You're an idiot.

[sblopez08]

Eric Clapton is not racist, he's just not from america where they have to be politically correct about everything and whine and cry because OHH!!! HE SAID BLACK MAN!!!!

[ThaisMakita]

Clapton was born to play the blues.....simply mind blowing!

[Kolkoscon]

somebody can tell me which guitars he plays in every track? (in particular his gibson es-335) ta

Well, there was that incident in the 70's where he repeatedly and drunkedly told all the wogs to stay out of England, and that England is a white country.... that was pretty racist. But I am in agreement with you, Clapton is not a racist, he's just either drunk (not anymore) or makes a poor selection of words. I mean he dated Naomi Campbell for god's sake!

This is one of the greatest blues albums, ever. 

[kermicheo]

you guys are all dumbasses. "racist." he commented on blacks. it is stereotyped a little but not racist. WTF.

There was a TV special I saw long ago that showed From the Cradle being practiced and recorded at a different place than this video shows. It was shot in a theater somewhere and it was just fantastic. I can't believe that it is not available on CD somewhere.

I don't see any of this racism you are talking about. basically he is saying that he has a right to sing the blues because of his son dying but he does not think he sings the blues as well as Muddy Waters.
