If you don't think your favorite musicians are gonna do some stupid sh*t when they get older, you got another thing coming.

Well as much as I'm not an Eric Clapton fan, I can at least appreciate the way he's going about it. Take a look at the albums he's released in the past ten years. There's been two collaborations with JJ Cale, a collaboration with BB King, A live album released with Steve Winwood. These are all his contemporaries, if not older more influential musicians. Not to mention the album of Robert Johnson covers. Compare that to Santana recording a couple mellodramatic licks on top of a Michelle Branch or dude from Matchbox 20 pop song and slapping his name on it , and Clapton seems full of integrity these days.
