Just because they’re old doesn’t mean they can’t make some great new music. Grammy winners Eric Clapton and Chaka Khan are offering up new releases for new and old fans.
Eric Clapton has had a productive year. He had a world tour, performed at the Crossroads Guitar Festival and his highly anticipated book ‘Clapton, The Autobiography’ was released last week on the same day that a two-disc album, ‘Complete Clapton, spanning his career was released. His 40-year career is captured in one package and even features songs from his days in Cream and Blind Faith.
In the meantime, Chaka Khan offers new material and covers on her first studio album in over 10 years ‘Funk This’. The whole album was produced by Flytetyme Productions run by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
The covers in the disc include songs by Prince, Joni Mitchell and Michael McDonald. There’s also a due with Mary J. Blige called ‘Disrespectful’ which sounds like a throwback to Aretha Franklin’s ‘Respect’.

Rocker Eric Clapton spent the morning of his 1979 wedding to Pattie Boyd so stoned and paranoid he refused to leave his bedroom. All the Beatles except John played together at his wedding, and he was getting married to George Harrison’s ex. This is probably going to be a great book. All of these pop and rock stars have had their share of bad doings and yet they will not admit that they were as bad and as spoilt as the rockers of today. Just imagine that if Paris or Nicole and Justin Timberlake were to get high on the morning of their wedding day then the paps of today would just write so extensively of their habits and endeavors that you could be bullied into believing that these guys are worthless piece of shits that have descended on our planet and we’d all be feeling so sorry for the bride that her soon to be hubby is a jerk who just couldn’t get up in time to take the vows with her. Well what ever happens is history but we always have examples of history repeating itself time and again.

Gees man, I cannot fully understand his pains but at the same time I can feel it a little as I have a 14 month son and it rips me apart if ever, ever (never like to say something like this) he won’t be there when in the evenings I go back home and he’s not there. Eric is world famous so we all know what happened to his son but there are thousands of other parents who might have lost their kid and today there are only memories that keep reminding them of a missing child that would have 15 or 20 something today and would be in school or collage get a degree. Though our world is a safe place to live in, but these incidents could drive you to madness. Surely his child is irreplaceable and that memory of the one day he spent with his son shall linger on forever in his heart and mind but you have to say that why didn’t he meet him before, what took him so long to find the time and the wish to meet his son.

Eric Clapton stole model Pattie Boyd away from pal George Harrison because he was jealous of the Beatle’s perfect life. Eric wasn’t too driven in those days. It was honest and mutual attraction for both lovers. Also he wasn’t consumed by “Krishna” and was willing to live by his feelings. Eric couldn’t have felt compelled in those times as he was “using” substances that made his thinking obscure to the reality he was living ,but he was ( is ) a gentleman and she was (is ) a lady ! Also Eric had a Ferrari too, so how could he be jealous of that! What you don’t remember you crashed it ???? Oh wow……..We all make mistakes and then live on to tell our side of the story but we are never able to realize the full effects of out acts. One that the person we is talking about is dead (George Harrison) so he today does not have the chance to walk up to George and apologize. He can just write about it and think that George would have forgiven him.
