Funny thing about "Layla" is that personally I consider the best part of it to be the piano outro. Not really interested in the "shorter" version.

Of course too much safety and predictability is disastrous, so I like a balance; a mild challenge, a bit of discordance. I think Faust or SPK are about my limits of strange so far.

Wow! Your brain must have quite a retrieval system to have tracked down that off-hand remark! I think I enjoyed the shambolic intro more than the song itself.



Meanwhile, Eric's grandma Rose was often rumoured to be at those impromtu local concerts, so that's another non-suck item to put on EC's balance sheet, imo; guy who takes his grandma to a rock concert.

The first time I heard it, it made me laugh so it stuck. Kinda.

Yes, some of those things do. I have permanently stuck in my head some of Syd Barratt's studio remarks from The Madcap Laughs: "Last one was diamond actually.... No, no, it's just the fact of going through it..."
Plus "Voices of Old People" on Bookends: "Just a room - your own room, in your own home...God forgive me, but old people without money are pathetic."

Eric Clapton is the most boring musician on the planet. Wanker at best

Do you actually know what wanker even means...like it is some outrageous activity... happens... it's nothing to do with music, go and figure it.

Yeah but it's also a term of abuse. "He's such a wanker. **** off you wanker! Ref! Are you ****ing blind, you stupid wanker? That was never a penalty!" and so on...

I find it hilarious that Peggy's family in Married With Children were actually named the Wankers. Peggy Wanker married Al Bundy. I'm not sure the writers even knew. Or maybe they did, but America didn't.
