Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Thank you.
I cannot adequately describe what it was like to a Jr. High school kid in 1968 … but Eric can …

Yes, I am screaming at the cameraman that I don’t need a close up of Clapton’s porn stash during his epic solo. Cream is in the top 5 … if not top 3 of the bands of my youth. Cover to cover … bad ass Brit Blues. My People’s interpretation of the blues … in a musical and lyrical language of my people, and my times.
Thank you, God for the explosion of talent Rock and Roll spawned … and yes … for America’s mistreatment of the blacks who sang of their personal plight and hence created an entire new music genre that my people admired, adopted, and whitewashed. Sorry … but I like MY PEOPLES interpretation better. That’s not racist. It’s simply personal taste.
Am I celebrating slavery? Don’t be stupid … however … what cannot be denied is that even in the face of such inhumanity … the human spirit … the creative spirit … cannot be extinguished. Yeah, that means I admire the CRAP out of the generations of black American slaves who refused to give up on the sweet life. They did what they could with what they had. And just like – impossible constraints … or personal tragedy … or heartache is the cauldron for the world’s greatest art … American slavery was the crucible for the blues. It all worked out. Awful time in history? Yes. But the human spirit … a colorblind spirit survives.
Too many notes. I prefer Clapton.
I was discussing “Crossroads” with a friend recently and took the position that the Cream version is a contender for best ever version of a song that doesn’t actually do justice to the song. It’s a great record, a delight to listen to, a spectacular performance, but there’s a lot in that song and you get none of it from that version.
Yeah, listen to the R Johnson version.
Yes, you can’t imagine the original if you’ve only heard Cream. It’s actually not easy to miss the point of a song completely and still make a worthwhile version. The only other example I can think of is “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright”, by the Four Seasons, which is snappy and cheerful and fun and not the song at all.
