Guitar Hero Eric Clapton's autobiography is a muddled affair of self-doubt, self-destruction and self-loathing - all of which means that we can expect Hollywood suits to be creaming all over themselves to make this opus into another rock-star bio pic. Paging Marty Scorsese.
Clapton, who seems to have be blessed with Rasputiin's indestructible constitution, survives drugs, alcohol and a suicide attempt while his rock peers drop like flies. During the Sixites, Clapton who was a member of the supergroups, Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith and Dereck and the Dominos, and yet in each instance he grew tired of the band's music. The irony is that he is best known for the music from this period. Subsequently, Clapton's later work seems to be channeling the ghost of blues legend Robert Johnson.
Mondo says save yourself the eyestrain and wait for the movie unless you're in dire need of a survivor's guide to rock-n-roll.
