Thanks for the additional information regarding Clapton. There was nothing wrong with your writing in the earlier post; it just seemed that nobody could be that much of a scumbag.
Along the same lines, I just finished a book by Geoff Emerick, who was the recording engineer for most of the Beatles albums. He said Ringo was a real jerk and was the Beatle he liked the least. He said when the camera was on Ringo was the happy-go-lucky, bumbling Ringo we all remember, but once the camera was off he reverted to his jerk status. It sounds like Clapton may be the same way. I do know that Clapton has spent millions of his own money to create a drug and alcohol treatment center in the Carribean, though, so that has to count for something.
If you want to know what kind of guy Clapton is, consider he screwed his best friend George Harrisons wife, Patti Boyd, and even went so far as to confront Harrison at a party by saying, "I`m in love with your wife, what are you going to do about it?" Gee, What a pal!
