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 wish I had a dollar for every bar band or mom’s basement guitarist who thinks he can play better than Clapton. I would be a rich man. @tylermunns How much do you make a show and how far up the charts did your best album go? Has your band ever been invited by one of the blues greats to open for him or has one of the blues greats ever opened for you? Does or did Buddy Guy, B.B. King or Muddy Waters enjoy jamming with you? How many blues festivals do you play a year? |
@tomcy6 McDonald’s has sold 8 kazillion burgers. That don’t make them the world’s culinary Mecca. You can use blunt appeals to numbers to make your argument. That doesn’t make your argument cogent. By your logic, Milli Vanilli, Justin Bieber and Nickelback are much greater than the Velvet Underground or Kraftwerk or The Stooges. Clapton is good at guitar. No reasonably-minded person would say he is not. He is just waaaaaay, way less good than he has been portrayed through 5+ decades. The fact that he’s an objectively awful human ain’t helpin’ things.

@mahgister +1 Gracious, but unrequired. ;) Actually, we all are 'on time', all the time. It's just not the one you may have expected at the time... |
Thanks for being gracious to all of us here...I only try to imitate you a bit ... 😊 My best to you....

I collect watches and have (amazingly) heard the "why have a watch when your phone has the time?" comment before. Why have artistic painting when you can throw paint on the wall? Music? Just grunt and rattle your food bowl...man...for those who like them, watches are amazing little machines with soul and wearable design...Rolex is an interesting company that makes over a million watches a year, and their prices have soared...so what? Don't like Clapton's playing? He's sort of proved himself musically over 6 decades or so...so...meh...he can play and it's very likely you can't. (however, I can and have for maybe only 5 decades...again...meh...) |
