E.C. Was...BLAH

Making the rounds of FARCEBOOK, TWATTER, etc., is: "Did you see what ERIC said about BB? Did YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID DID YOU DID YOU??"

DID YOU DID YOU DID DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU DID DID YOU DID YOU?????

IF I'M BEING HONEST, Clapton is not someone I've found to be particularly profound or lucid. In most any rock documentary, he'll be one of the barely talking heads whose quotes you never remember.

And yet his fellow idiot savants were most impressed with his feeble two minute mutter that he posted about King.

He could've written something out first. What came out wasn't much. In the middle of the muddle was "thank you..." as if the guy was up in heaven listening. Right. King's got himself the iHeaven computer, and the first thing that happened after he died was he checked St. Peter's wi-fi to check out "What did Eric say about me?"

To his credit, Clapton did recognize that most fans of his have NEVER actually heard King's music. They prefer Eric's white man's blues rock (or "authentic British blues," to use a wry term from the Wilderness Road band). So he said, "If you haven't heard" this guy, go listen to the live album...(which Zinfart or Shitass has for a free download).

Yes, yes (or if you prefer, "yaas, yaas..") thousand and thousands are shifting from an insincere "Poor BB" to: "Poor Eric, Poor Eric." Anyone on FARCEBOOK posting this shit will be sure to get a "We're sorry for your loss, Eric" or that ever-popular "R.I.P."

Fuckrist Sake, don't you wish you didn't have to die? Who wants THIS kind of shit as the response to your UNCONSCIOUS...NOTHING...FOREVER? Some geezer making a long face? Somebody saying "R.I.P." and then going out and having a big fat cheeseburger and fries and a Coke?

I gots da BLUUUUUUUZE todayyyyy.
