Eric Clapton's autobiography. The story of a very successful and extremely self-centered man. He spent most of his adult life unhappy and addicted to either heroin or alcohol. He couldn't get sober until he got down on his knees and prayed for help twice a day. Afterwards he started his own addiction treatment center and helped to fund it by selling his old guitars for millions and holding benefit concerts. He found a nice woman, got married, and had children. He seems to have transformed into a much better person over the years.

He said he liked to avoid political words and agendas in his songs and let the music say it all.

Eric Clapton’s was one of the best modern popular figures’ autobiographies i ever read. The talent was thing but the human growth was marvelous.

The best modern pop figures’ autobiographies I’ve read was Andre agassi’s and I don’t even like tennis.

Was Clapton happy with his own guitar playing?
