Great doc. Not an easy watch.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Does it explain away his mad racist nonsense? Always wished he wasn't into that
Will try to watch the film, just to see how bad things got. It’ll help put his music and other stuff into perspective (as in filling in the bits between the music), including the Crossroads Festival.
Probably a lot more honest and open than the recent Jeff Beck documentary.
As a former alcoholic myself, I know that I've said some crazy things that have actually zero basis on how I have ever thought so I've always hoped that's the case with Clapton.

EC's quote was:
"I think Enoch’s right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. This is Great Britain, a white country. What is happening to us, for f***’s sake?"
