No one could argue that Eric Clapton's brilliant work here was anything short of artistic, in rock n roll terms.
Yet, all he was talking about, in the real world, was his forbidden love for Pattie Boyd Harrison, the wife of Beatle George Harrison. That's all. Forbidden fruit. The muse for many an artist.
(Pattie & George.) Actually, in reality, Clapton succeeded in stealing Harrison's wife from him, and then, later on, this illicit couple broke up as well. Maybe that is why they call it the blues...
