Wells, a man famous for his obsession about little men controlling bigger men like rob'ts. Coincidence? Not in the slightest. Obviously the first Elton John was from Nigeria but he's the exception to the rule.

The comedy formula is so simplistic...yet they squeeze 20 minutes out of it.

[@frankibianchi6188]

There's actually enormous nuance on display here. Consider, for instance, whether the tiny man is indeed puppeteering the large man using levers and buttons, or whether the large man has been shrunk so small as to fit inside the small man's ass, employing size 0 pvc piping to achieve his aims? This erudite discussion of Clapton's work prompts us to question our own positionality- is Eric, man who has forgotten his own accent, a genius or a consumate regard? Where is the line between them? Is there such a line? Or is it we, the audience, who are the true regards in Clapton's interviews and performances?
