------ About the song COCAINE performed by Eric Clapton
I agree too, Clapton is among the best on the top, but saying somebody who want's to say anything about can fight you personally is one of the most stupidest things i've heard... People got opionion, wether you like it or not...
So many wonderful memories | Reviewer: Dark Vixen
------ About the song Wonderful Tonight performed by Eric Clapton
A month after I met my boyfriend and he had to fly back to his home in a different state played this song, which i had never heard before that moment. My wonderful boyfriend of 4 years played this song which we danced to as I cried my eyes out. I didn't know when i would see him again. Funny thing is, he moved back here a month later. This song makes me smile and get a little teary when I hear it at word or on the radio. I know that my boyfriend is the love of my lifPr

"Cursed/ Called" | Reviewer: Dave Kennard
------ About the song HOLY MOTHER performed by Eric Clapton
I believe that it is "I've cursed your name a thousand times". In my opinion, this lyric is a song about a man who has been through strife, and now is looking for some means of salvation. The lyric "Holy mother, hear my cry,
I've cursed your name a thousand times.
I've felt the anger running through my soul;
Holy Mother can't keep control" is about realizing that although he has cursed the holy mother, he is now ready for the salvation he could receive.
Also, I believe that it is "All I need is your hand to hold", not "Holy mother, can't keep control"
Your stories are so touching.. | Reviewer: Guy Williams
------ About the song Tears In Heaven performed by Eric Clapton
I was searching for the lyrics to this song because i wanted to sing it at a tribute concert to my late friend who passed away due to a car accident. I happened to scroll down a little bit more and read the reviews....your stories touched my heart and i felt your pain as well...however, i cant imagine losing my mum, my dad, my sis or even my beloved girlfriend...it would just break my heart. But you guys have gone through it..and you have my utmost respect and admiration for holding on this long even after losing a loved one. Indeed Eric Clapton has made a beautiful song out of sorrow from the passing of his son Connor..
holy mother | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song HOLY MOTHER performed by Eric Clapton
I just listened to EC live at Hyde Park. The word is without doubt "cursed". Makes sense that when you think about it. He is not cursing Holy Mother in the song, simply confessing that he had in the past; I'm sure as a result of pain in his life.
if i hear this song i always remember my 23yr.old boyfriend,he past away last Feb.3,2009...I'll never forget him,because he's my first love and he's such a good guy...I had a guilt feelings the day i knew that he is dead because i didn't ask him if he has a prob...I really love him,last March 26,2009 was our 3 years anniversary...I miss you so much sungit

I fell in love with a "wonderful" kid when we were 16 years old. He was learning how to play guitar. It took him some time, but he learned it. That was 25 years ago. He plays it alot better now! We've been through it all: living together, being marred, having a baby, major illness, getting a divorce, marring others, divorcing others, but mostly being best friends. He still plays it for me; I still get that same "goosey" feeling just like when I was a kid. This is by far, one of the best songs written..."EVER"
eric's part in saving my life. | Reviewer: tony brown
------ About artist/band Eric Clapton
I was lying in bed after my 10th detox getting ready to celerbrate my sobriety with a drink? and someone told me ERIC CLAPTON was an alcoholic? But he is well? my friend bought me his book, i started to belive that recovery was possible,I made this promise, if ther is a god get me into a 12 step rehab and get me through and i will dedicate the rest of my new life to helping alcoholics God did save me and i've been fighting the system here in england to help alkys' for the last 6 years + we now number 47 1year+ 16 2years+ and 7 3years+ sober inspite of the medical control your drinking system. ERIC'S music is probably the most important thing about Eric for the vast magority of the human race, but to my little group of sober alcoholics his example of sober living is his gift to us. I just missed you (ERIC) at the MUSTARD SEED CHICAGO last month i hope to have the oppertunity to meet you one day, in the mean time thank you from the bottom of my heart LIF tony b PS Mahat says hi
In the late 80's, I had a chance to meet my childhood hero name Eric Clapton here in Anchorage, Alaska. He just came into the town without notice. I met him in the local bar. He was looking for or get a information about his late dad. Obviously I had know him during my childhood in Nelson Island area. I did written a song titled "Alberta" during my high school years down at Toksook Bay after I briefly attended Bethel Regional High School. That is where I got to know Alberta Foss, obviously I was just another Yup'ik native. Just like any teenager, I began to wrote a song in 1978-79. I introduced myself to Eric, I was Paul John from Newtok than. But I used the name of "Huddi Ledbetter" for that particular song. The reason why I used that name was to protect Eric from certain militant group in U.S. Military. I also considered myself as C-12. Obviously Eric Clapton did wonderful job recording that song the way it was. This song was written for Alberta Foss orignally Bethel,Alaska. It is a love song for her.

cursed | Reviewer: royphilip
------ About the song HOLY MOTHER performed by Eric Clapton
I don't get it. Is it because curse is such a negative word to be used with holy? If you follow through to the next verse or line.... it is an admission of the author doing a "bad thing" and explaining why. "Called" does not belong to the entire thought of the paragraph. It does not make it logical.
The author is asking/pleading for an audience with a holy being despite his actions and his anger.
Another Explanation | Reviewer: Anthony
------ About the song HOLY MOTHER performed by Eric Clapton
I have just read everyones comment and would like to give my input on this song. Reffering to the whole "Cursed/called" issue, I have seen many sites that have "Called" instead of "Cursed". At this moment no one is really sure what the lyric actually is. Although I would like to note that I have a copy of "Eric Clapton and Friends" at home. Clapton himself sings "I've cursed your name a thousand times". But Im still not too sure.

Grand Illusion by EC | Reviewer: David Lobato
------ About the song Grand Illusion performed by Eric Clapton
I think this is one of the best lead guitar solos he did. It was powerful, in a way, but very sweet and graceful the way he slides several times down the neck. He also gets a bit of woman-tone effect near the end. I always wished he played it in concert.
Way too little detail about Duane Allman and others | Reviewer: 88maverick
------ About artist/band Eric Clapton
Disappointed greatly that Clapton only briefly mentioned Tom Dowd and Duane Allman,two very pivotal persons in his career. Book is way too thin on details of his music and way too thick on his obsession with minor details of his AA days.
