I've been a huge fan of Eric Clapton for many, many years and grew up in my teens listening to his music. I still do. Clapton doesn't write as well as he plays guitar and crafts his music, but this was an interesting book nonetheless. Did you know he taught himself to play the guitar? I didn't. I learned more about his addictions than I really knew prior to this and found that his life wasn't easy while growing up. It was fun to read about so many of the other artists that he was friends with and played music with, so many of which I am a fan of. His love of music has always been more bluesy than rocks-y and I saw that during his career, but his interest in fashion and many of the other arts surprised me. Clapton was very open about his life while writing this book and while I saw he had demons, some of which turned me off, I also saw he was willing to lay it all out on the table. He's a real guy, we all have demons - and I love him even more for it.
