Eric Clapton On What Happened to Rock N Roll

“Rock and roll got watered down a long time ago.” He said it used to be about being a rebel. “And now it’s much more to do with conformity,”

It’s why the music was so much better in the 70’s.

Not Clapton, but definitely Rock and Roll.

My Age, In Pictures

We played war in the streets, along with baseball, football and I drove those cars thousands of miles in the sandbox. We actually learned things rather than looking it up on a phone. Common sense was far more available to us than it is to the snowflakes.

The cars today are driving computers, but you can’t work on them yourself, you need to plug it in to tell you what is wrong. I miss the smooth sound of a V-12, or the deep throated sound of a V-8 in a pony car.

I’ll leave the girls alone other than it was a more genuine look, but our music was way better that what you hear today.

Rod Stewart – Stay With Me

Whenever I need a pick me up when working out or just riding in the car, this is the song that does it for me. I even blew a speaker to this song when I turned it up too loud. I’m still proud of that.

So if you need a pick me up that is as good as a 5 hour energy, take a listen.
