[@railrodemike]

Man, I can relate. Age 14, my mother helped me purchase a new Amp to play in a band in 1965. Got beat up by who I thought was my father. Age 17 left home from Oklahoma entlisted USMC. After my discharge met a lady in Chicago. After 17 years of marriage to my soul mate, I was forced to make a decision for DNR Do Not Resuscitate. She passed away Age 36 from breast cancer. I made a promise to my wife before she passed away to keep playing my Fender bass. It took a few years but picked it, encouraged by my two sons, ages 13 and 16. Here it is, 2024, Age 75, still playing my bass. Never give up playing music.

IT'S INTERESTING THAT WHEN A CELEBRITY HAS DRUG/ALCOHOL ADDICTION ISSUES....it is often acknowledged that that it is often a result of understandable emotional struggles and personal stress due to job/career. That same understanding is rarely extended to the average person who deals with the same issues.

[@conniewoodruff4706]

I agree

[@kellymccormick8757]

Well said

[@chriscoughlin9289]

I think the same understanding is available from the appropriate sources. Having the resources to access them is another matter. American healthcare stigmatizes the pursuit of the treatment of mental well being in a way it would never be permitted to do with due diligence regarding chronic physiological disorders

[@detroitlady7201]

It's also interesting that Eric pays it forward. He runs and supports a rehab center in Antigua where if you can't afford to pay, it's free! That's why he has his Crossroads concerts. To raise money for the center!!

[@conniewoodruff4706]

[@jims5922]

The title is deceiving. Yes, Eric went through stuff. We all do. He created his own hell with alcohol and drugs and came out better for it. I discovered him when I was 14, dealing or not dealing well with the loss of my father. I have been a fan for 55 years. He freed himself of alcohol and drugs by the late 80s, found love in the early 2000s, and has four beautiful daughters and a wonderful wife. He has had a few health issues of course. His playing and singing are better than ever. I've seen him in concert twice in the last year and 28 times total. He continues to support and promote up and coming artists with his Crossroads guitar festivals that also raise money to support his Crossroads rehabilitation center that treats the poor for free. He has shown generosity and kindness towards fellow musicians who have fallen on hard times. He has donated and supported many good causes without making a public display. If I were to guess I'd say he's a happy man and deserves to be.

[@1sirteddles]

ERIC'S COMPASSION IS EXEMPLIFIED BY AUCTIONING HIS FAVOURITE FENDER "BLACKIE." AT ONE STAGE HE OWNED 200 GUITARS AND AUCTIONED 100 TO RAISE MONEY TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE. WE ALL STUMBLE TO SOME DEGREE ALONG LIFE'S PATH. IT'S A MATTER OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE THE COURAGE AND WILL POWER TO PICK YOURSELF UP, DUST YOURSELF OFF, AND TRY AGAIN. FANS OF ERIC AND BLUES MUSIC CAN BE PROUD OF THE QUALITY OF MAN HE IS, NOT JUST THE QUALITY OF HIS MUSICAL TALENT.

[@stephaniefain1863]

@@jims5922 I’m really glad he got out. I’m not jealous of it. I just wish it was a bit easier for the rest of us. I’ve watched so many “friends” go down over drugs or alcohol. I’m one of those people. I’m alcoholic. I’m one of the “good” kind? I don’t get arrested, or cause a ruckus, or crash cars, or any of that crazy stuff. My family loves me, spends time with me, respects me, ask me for advice, and tells me their problems. I’m disabled, but I work all day for my large family in a big house, with a ton of critters. I’ve been sick, amazingly not alcohol related, for a while now. All my organs are in good working order, I just stopped eating. Im on the mend. But getting care on Medicaid for mental health issues, when you admit to alcoholism, almost slams the door in your face. First, I have to go through detox. I’ve been throwing up for 6 months, and you want me to agree to do it some more?? And I have to leave my family??? I’ve looked for outside counseling. I can’t afford it. Just seems like the cart is before the horse.

[@HansTyndale]

It isn't a shock about Eric because he's getting up there in age and that's how it is. I'm just glad he was with us as long as he was and didn't die an early death like so many other musicians that went down that road.

I love Eric Clapton and of course his Music. He has endured and overcome more issues than the average person. I finally saw him in 1998 in concert. He was awesome. The best concert I've ever been to. And I've been to a lot of them, thank you Eric for your music and just being you.❤

[@Notes-From-Underground66]

Did not mention the profound sadness Eric felt when Jeff Beck unexpectedly died. A great friend of his since the mid 1960’s and at times rivals which made there relationship complicated; however, they shared the stage with one another from time to time for 6 decades and did a World Tour together in 2010. Eric arranged a tribute concert for Jeff and also released a single of him and Jeff playing “Moon River”. The cover was a picture of Eric and Jeff walking in a snow covered field with one of Jeff’s dogs.

[@wookiewoo1]

Shame you didn't share about his Crossroads drug rehab centre and the annual Crossroads rock and blues concerts which raise millions to support others with addictions.

Clapton's autobiography is a brutally honest look at his pain, his troubles, and his addictions. He was never high near Ginger Baker as he literally thought he might kill him. He recognized that people around him were dying. He feared needles so he sniffed heroin which cost more. He feared being a front man as he's not that strong a man by his own admission. The book is a great read.

I grew up with Eric Clapton always wanted to jam on stage with him .but problem never will but I do his songs with my Rudy T Band keep him out there. A great guitarist he is. And a great history of a musician

[@garyrodriguez8414]

Having been a fan since his days with the Yardbirds and following his musical explorations up until today I can say he had a blessed life inspite of his trials and the traumatic loss of his son. He is a remarkable man to have endured so .uch anguish in life. Still in all his life rewarded him with great friendships and romantic experiences many would be envious of. He has grown to become an icon of musical fame and his music and performances over the years especially the guitar festivals will rank him in the top rankings of performers in my mind.

[@Politicallynot]

Eric is a class act! He has said and done ridiculous things just like the rest of us. A perfectionist, a purist and absolute ambassadors for his profession. I follow him and have 52 years. You would have to be a very specific kind of idiot to not see that. As for his shows….he is a very humble guy and prefers not to be out going crazy on stage, it’s just not his deal.

[@keng4066]

I can relate to Eric's comments about his son and understand his initial reaction. He certainly has no need to feel ashamed, his reaction is a reflection of the depth of loss, so great that you reject it as not being possible to live with. When I was told at the hospital that my 16 year old daughter had not survived a knife attack at school I wanted to capture the words from the doctor's mouth and put them back where they came from. Then I was desperate to see her because they must have made a mistake. The quick senseless death of someone who you cherish and would give your life for is devastating at the time and they never leave you.

I saw Clapton in the mid to late 70s he stood with his back to the audience for the whole concert, I was so disappointed in one of the few musicians I loved to listen to.

[@mtnwriter4011]

Those were the dark days. I too saw him in the 1970s. He appeared angry and closed off. He would do "long" solo riffs, and at one point his other guitarist took off on his own solo riff. Clapton came over and chewed him out. I thought he was going to fire him on the spot, in front of an enormous audience The poor guitarist just stood there and took it. What else could he do? Clapton was an asshole that night and I "personally" would have punched him out and walked off stage.

I love it when these celebrities discover that life is not a cakewalk. Now all of society seems to have become aware of how life has not catered to them. Time to get over ourselves. Everybody’s life is filled with trials and challenges. You either fail or overcome them and get on with life; and also get over yourself. None of us is the centre of the universe.

[@Timkahooflitch]

I was absolutely delighted to read your post with the use of the Phrase ; "Cakewalk" As Booker Ervin and Don Patterson composed a somber Blues theme with that very phrase christened " The Hip Cakewalk" I had a " very minor " injury - I was T-Boned in an intersection in my van, and the car that hit me sent me " Sailing " on a 45 degree angle across that intersection crashing straight into a telephone pole. The dashboard of my van had caved in and crushed my right leg. The doctor treated me to a surgery that placed a stainless rod in the marrow of my right Femor [ the largest bone in the human body] The doctors put me to sleep ( general anesthesia) -and I solomnly swear. - I heard Don Patterson and old Booker Ervin playing " The Hip Cakewalk" They sounded damn good

@@peterobrien1499 not in the least. The same trials and tribulations apply to everyone in life. Celebrity status grants no exception and actually can present greater obstacles that come with greater rewards. It’s called life. I am hardly jealous of famous people. I would not have wanted to live Michael Jackson’s life. In spite of fame, fortune, and immense talent, I felt sorry for the crap that also came his way. Like everyone else he did the best he could.

The true worth of such videos lies in humanizing accomplished individuals, revealing their vulnerabilities and weaknesses, just like anyone else. Celebrities shouldn't be considered role models.

He emphasizes that we shouldn't idolize celebrities, as some may be more lost than we are.
