Yes. Cream ruled. Three of the greatest rock musicians to ever come together - but something of a shooting star - burn bright, fade fast.

I heard Cream was going to play/played some shows recently in the UK. Have you heard anything?

I don't think Cream will ever play again. Baker and Bruce have wanted to for years but Clapton won't do it.There are stories about very bad blood and Clapton guards his sobriety very seriously. He rejected Baker's offer of assistance with the rehab facility Clapton runs in the islands because, it's rumored, Baker still smokes the occasional joint.

Who knows? I've got the records and maybe that's enough. After all, among the cuts is Crossroads the second lead of which is the greatest bit of guitar work ever played or recorded.
