Eric Clapton's Autobiography
Just got finished reading it this weekend - it was pretty amazing and more amazing still is that he's still alive given his addiction to smack and alcohol and a couple of failed suicide attempts...
I've always been a big Clapton fan but having read his autobiography will put his music in a different perspective for me - I've got the day off so I'll be listening to the whole discography today.
The story about the terrible loss of his son Conor will bring tears to your eyes - and the story of how he finally conquered his addictions is inspiring.
EC - I recently learned - is a devoted fisherman and hunter and talks about the Zen quality of fishing.
It gives you a real perspective into how he's developed as an artist and finally as a man who has finally found peace in his life with his wife and four daughters.
Really interesting stuff - the list of musicians he's worked with is incredible - I'd recommend it if you're into music and looking for a good read.
