[Slowhand] hahah this quote says it all..

[Apurva Parikh]

On his latest album, "Back Home":



People say that if you want to bore someone silly, sing them a happy love 
song! It's a difficult formula, but that's what I wanted to do (Eric Clapton 
as quoted in "Back Home," "Where's ERIC!" February 2006 [Issue 38], p. 7, 
interview extracts from Warner Brothers EPK).


thanks DN for that gem! let's hope jj cale didn't let eric sing happy love 
songs.
