God doesn't need to know what time it is.


Value of anything is a most fascinating subject to me.

Eric Clapton hasn't owned this  Rolex Daytona for nearly 20 years. It 's probably been in storage since he dumped it and is expected to fetch north of $1.6M?

For that much I'd want his playing ability AND his stereo system.

...' I'm not wholly off the deep end with the conspiracy theorists and racists either'...

 

Pardon my ignorance as I live in a country where there is just one race, but I always thoght that beeing a 'racists' meens that you do not like the presence or existance of other races or that you think that you are somehow 'better' than the others.

I have seen Clapton playing with many other different folks, so I guess he does not fit in that category or that word (racist) has some other meaning that I do not fully know yet?. 

On the other hand, calling somebody a 'conspiricy theorist' just because he has different personal experince (his words on vaccine are based on his condition after he took one) and despite many similar claims from many other people or even after published Pfeizer data which shows many registered death and heavy conseqences of their 'medicine' is just plain dumb, but above all, rude.

Such talk should not be present in any decent comunication between civilised men  or even on forums despite the fact that some people obviously take advantage and shelter behind anonymity of their comuter keyboards

Still I find such behaviour despicable, even in this form.

Tylermunns, would you like to own a painting of Caravaggio or Dali? Or perhaps one from Picasso? 

By all means, they were not nicest people, but what that says about thier art? I have never met Clapton, do not belive that you have either. I guess, if you are superficial enough, you might find 'something' on anybody that you dont like. As long as their deeds does not affect the lives of other people, their personal traits are just that, personal thing. I am not even the fan of his music, but when you mention blues or players that he 'ripped off', at least he brought some attention to some of them or their art, which inspate of having tremendous historical and artistic value is not appreciated in thier own country, as many of them could not make living of it. Just read some biography (almost any) of  big jazz protagonists of the past, there is almost no 'happy' stories, not to mention that until recently they could not share the same space with folks of different color.

I strongly believe that these are far more important things to understand or 'make the stand' about, than the personality of some rock star and even the notorius one.

As for the likings of watches or jewlery or anything overly expensive, a song comes to mind...

 

Or perhaps this one...
