I was going to post Cocaine, but didn't want to upset certain people.

I gave up all that crap about 10 years ago, but still love the music.

His only problem is his support of West Bumich Albion....Apart from that, flawless. (what's a bit of a habit between friends ?)

Snort. In the past three months I have had to buy new keyboards because I have laughed out loud and sprayed the poor thing with a mixture of coffee, tea and voddie - depending on the time of day.

Patsy - someone is telling you porkies.

I was very active on the club scene around 1960-63, brought groups like the Animals down from Geordieland to the Scene (daytime Mac's rehearsal rooms / night-time the Scene) off Windmill Street. Working for Ronan O'Rahilly of pirate radio notoriety.

I could swear blind that Eric Clapton passed his eighteenth birthday by that time and would thus be around 68-69 now.

(I have NOT mixed him up with Eric Burdon - I mentioned the Animals as just one of the groups I enticed to future fame and fortune, despite a touch of poverty at the time.)(They slept on the stage at the Scene for a few days, 'cos none of us had enough readies to find them digs)

Still love his music whatever age he is.

Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945) is an English guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter.

Like him too. Trouble is, when you are over a certain age and walk into a bar (other than the Bangla area), they often tend to put older records on. So I'm just about claptoned out...

(I said claptoned, not clapped. But that too...)

I thought they only played the Eagles in bars in Thailand?

I remember sitting on the beach in Chaweng every night listening to Hotel California over and over and over again.

In fact, everytime I hear that song it reminds me of sitting on that beach!!

Written by a great Scottish singer, who sings it in this version. See, i do have some eductionion!!

Within my means. Try John Martin...

Bah humbug to birthdays. I don't celebrate birthdays anymore, mine or anyone else's. It's too scary thinking of a the wasted years. I now spend all my money on booze and hot women. The rest is just wasted. If anyone feels happy about getting older then I have some advice for them... don't.
