Vinny · 09-13-2004, 04:57 PM

Sorry Hayfever, I just thought this was necessary! Neko, since I'm HTML-illiterate, would you mind fixing the header so the fonts are like they were before? Thanks, mate.

Anyway, after a two-week hiatus (sorry about that), we are back with one of the greatest figures of 20th century music. Eric Clapton has been in many different groups and has played with many different musicians, but has always remained an outstanding musician and also a philanthropist, hosting concerts for many charities, which is always a thing to respect, as it sets the people who do this apart from the greedy bastards who like to hold on to huge amounts of money that they'll never be able to spend *coughMADONNAcough*. He is also the only person to have ever been inducted three times into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Yardbirds, Cream, and as a solo artist.

Ah, where to begin with Mr. Clapton.....okay, I have no idea where to begin, but I think you get the basic idea here.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
