[Slowhand] CBE, Olli/DN..

[Apurva Parikh]

CBE, I think stands for Commander of British Empire - an honor EC recieved 
recently.

This Olli/DN debate is enlightening of one thing - this digest will never 
move forward unless people actually are allowed to debate things instead of 
being labeled as stuck in the past or haters.

What do you think a digest of this kind is for - Olli? This is not some 
teenage fan club where we all just swoon and whisper sweet nothings about 
Eric Clapton. I merely pointed out that I dind't like Clapton's playing in 
the Mayall 70th DVD gig and that most people felt the same way, I was 
sarcastically saying it was the truth.

Your point about the occiasion being for charity is a correct one, but as 
artists, do you think Clapton, Mayall go into anything thinking, oh well i'm 
getting paid, maybe i should play better or hey this is a charity gig, i'll 
coast. Eric as an artist, I would hope never would get into that type of 
thinking, but who knows, he's human, maybe he was trying to be deferential 
to Mayall or what we heard on the DVD wasn't indicative of how it sounded 
live.

I'm sick of people telling me my intentions or labeling others. Everyone is 
entitled to an opinion, let's leave it at that.
