Rocker ERIC CLAPTON hired a look-alike to take his driving test for him, according to the rocker's former wife PATTIE BOYD.
Recluse Boyd has come out of hiding to promote a new memoir, Wonderful Today, in which she reveals all about her life with the guitar great.
And among the revelations, Boyd claims Clapton did nothing for himself suggesting he's still driving around with an illegal driving license.
She says, "He didn't even take his own driving test - he got someone who looked like him to sit it for him." And Boyd also reveals her untidy ex was very particular about his shirt collection: "He had at least 200 shirts and he'd go berserk if I could not find the one he wanted that day...
"Eric was not naturally tidy. The bath was full of jumpers and shirts - that was where he stored them."
C’mon Eric, fess up...And don’t give me no alibis...
Was it ERIC CLAPNER?..........
Here in California they take your finger print when you take the drivers test. At least they use too...
OH, who cares? I still think he’s one of the best, if not THE best, guitarist that ever lived.
So there. :)
Sounds like a disgruntled former spouse looking to make a few bucks at the expense of her ex.
Petty nonsense.
And I don’t mean Richard Petty. ;)
Thinkin bout the times you drove in my car.
Thinkin that I might have drove you too far.
And Im thinkin bout the love that you laid on my table.
I told you not to wander round in the dark.
I told you bout the swans, that they live in the park.
Then I told you bout our kid, now hes married to mabel.
Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down.
Dont you notice how the wheel goes round?
And you better pick yourself up from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
Yes, before they bring the curtain down.
Talkin bout a girl that looks quite like you.
She didnt have the time to wait in the queue.
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.
This may be why some celebrities are so messed up......unable to have relationships or a marriage without wondering whether this person will write about personal aspects of you later on.
When pressed for comment, Mr. Clapton said...
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I’ve been spending my money on other women
You’ve been taking money from someone else
Saw him for the first time recently in San Antonio,TX.
Speak no bad of this man!
You beat me to it!
Never did anything for himself? Or his kid, either, like closing and locking the apartment window.
I wonder how many people even know what we are talking about?.........
Actually they are messed up because they surround themselves with people that just tell them what they need to hear. Slowly( sometimes rapidly) they lose their bearing on reality. So when someone in the real world runs into them they come off as complete whack jorbs, while they think they are normal. ie tom cruise.
Was that a Joycelyn Elders-ism? If so I don’t really know why she’d be discussing Mr. Clapner.
DING DING DING!!! We have a winner!
She even appropriated one of his songs for title of her book.
You'd get no argument from me.
Yes, good old Joycelyn Elders......Seem she was at a concert he performed at for some disease or something........
Here in California they take your finger print when you take the drivers test. At least they use too
Is she the Ex that married the late George Harrison, which would make her also the inspiration for the tune “Layla”?
