埃里克•克莱普顿:
有史以来最伟大的吉他手之一,人称吉他上帝;传奇的布鲁斯音乐大师,《蕾拉》、《泪洒天堂》等都是广为流传的杰作;他尝试过多种音乐风格,布鲁斯、迷幻摇滚、雷鬼乐、每一种都获得了巨大成功;他获得过19项格莱美奖,3次入主摇滚名人堂。
克莱普顿是第二次世界大战时一个加拿大士兵的私生子,幼年失怙,命途多舛。他一度沉迷于毒品和酒精,感情生活长期混乱,其间还经历了很多好朋友的死;50岁育得一子,却在四岁时夭折。
现在的克莱普顿住在伦敦郊外,享受着天伦之乐。另外由于追悔自己的吸毒和酗酒经历,他建立了吸毒酗酒者的救助机构“十字路口中心”,并为这件事忙得不亦乐乎。

要有这样一种鲜活的生命--既不是菜市场鲜活蹦跳等死的鱼类,也不是舞台上哗众取宠贴满标签的人类。它总是光着身子,就这么光着,像刚出生的婴儿一般,勇敢,无畏,不顾一切。 它走在街上,所遇所见的都对它不停的摇头。它知道摇头对它来讲就是最强烈的攻击,是杀人不见血的武...
评分我对克莱普顿的音乐,实在不怎么感兴趣,不插电是不错,泪洒天堂也着实在播放设备里循环了小半年,但其余大多数作品则听不出味道。 首先我不是一个纯正布鲁斯迷,而是一个摇滚乐爱好者。其次即使是摇滚乐范畴(不管真的假的,反正自打六十年代后一切流行音乐都有了摇滚血缘)...
评分2007年1月20日的上海大舞台,当我陶醉于埃里克•克莱普顿的琴声,并为他和小多伊尔•布拉姆霍尔、德雷克•特拉克斯这两个新生代布鲁斯吉他王者相得益彰的合奏、天衣无缝的配合惊叹不已时,我并不知道,当时的他正在紧锣密鼓地写着这本自传,而此书的部分内容就是在上海完...
评分这本《天堂十字路口》的英文版于2008年发行,《纽约邮报》的评价是“一部壮丽的摇滚史诗”。而在笔者看来,这本书更像是“一部克莱普顿的自我死磕史”。 读名人传记,往往我们会遇到两种令人遗憾的状况,一是因作者文气不济而让故事有趣无味,一是因作者文笔太好而...
评分我是在2013年的国庆长假期间看完这本自传的。期间,微博上异常安静只有媒体和品牌在继续聒噪,微信朋友圈上所有人都在晒世界各地的旅游照片,而我假期的大部分空闲时间都花在了这本书以及听他书里提到的20多张专辑上面了。 我其实是个伪摇滚迷,高中时代就开始弹吉他听欧美音乐...

“I found a pattern in my behavior that had been repeating itself for years, decades even. Bad choices were my specialty, and if something honest and decent came along, I would shun it or run the other way.”
With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of his eventful and inspiring life in this poignant and honest autobiography. More than a rock star, he is an icon, a living embodiment of the history of rock music. Well known for his reserve in a profession marked by self-promotion, flamboyance, and spin, he now chronicles, for the first time, his remarkable personal and professional journeys.
Born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents, Eric never knew his father and, until the age of nine, believed his actual mother to be his sister. In his early teens his solace was the guitar, and his incredible talent would make him a cult hero in the clubs of Britain and inspire devoted fans to scrawl “Clapton is God” on the walls of London’s Underground. With the formation of Cream, the world's first supergroup, he became a worldwide superstar, but conflicting personalities tore the band apart within two years. His stints in Blind Faith, in Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, and in Derek and the Dominos were also short-lived but yielded some of the most enduring songs in history, including the classic “Layla.”
During the late sixties he played as a guest with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, as well as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and longtime friend George Harrison. It was while working with the latter that he fell for George’s wife, Pattie Boyd, a seemingly unrequited love that led him to the depths of despair, self-imposed seclusion, and drug addiction. By the early seventies he had overcome his addiction and released the bestselling album 461 Ocean Boulevard , with its massive hit “I Shot the Sheriff.” He followed that with the platinum album Slowhand , which included “Wonderful Tonight,” the touching love song to Pattie, whom he finally married at the end of 1979. A short time later, however, Eric had replaced heroin with alcohol as his preferred vice, following a pattern of behavior that not only was detrimental to his music but contributed to the eventual breakup of his marriage.
In the eighties he would battle and begin his recovery from alcoholism and become a father. But just as his life was coming together, he was struck by a terrible blow: His beloved four-year-old son, Conor, died in a freak accident. At an earlier time Eric might have coped with this tragedy by fleeing into a world of addiction. But now a much stronger man, he took refuge in music, responding with the achingly beautiful “Tears in Heaven.”
Clapton is the powerfully written story of a survivor, a man who has achieved the pinnacle of success despite extraordinary demons. It is one of the most compelling memoirs of our time.
