[Slowhand] Larry King

[John Shortridge]

Larry King can do great interviews. Unfortunately he spends too much  
time bottom feeding on O.J., Britney, and other meaningless crap. I  
enjoyed his Eric interview. I thought he asked some good questions  
and probed Eric, getting some good answers. Eric is so classy and  
smooth. When Larry interviews "rockers," which is beyond his scope of  
musical knowledge, you get some obvious neophyte questions like, "you  
write your own music?"

I really laughed when Larry asked if Britney had gone to the  
Crossroads Center. Come on Larry, like Eric would say anything if he  
knew. His bottom feeding compulsion. And the funniest moment by far  
was when he asked Eric about going out on a date with 2 women at  
once, one was his current wife, Melia. Larry asked, with great  
wonder, "how did you get them to do that?" I detected some envy and  
admiration.
