Eric Clapton confessions in new autobiography

Eric Clapton traded a heroin addiction for alcoholism, suffered disastrous love affairs, contemplated suicide while armed with a bottle of vodka, a gram of blow and a shotgun.

The guitar deity has long since surrendered to a higher power; at 62, Clapton has 20 years of sobriety, a happy marriage and three young daughters. It's a good time to consider an extraordinary life, as the rock Hall of Famer does with "Clapton: The Autobiography."

    • Uh... Pinball Wizard was written by Pete Townshend and performed by the English rock band The Who, in their album Tommy (1969) - Tommy was also made into a musical, the first ever "Rock Opera". Nothing whatsoever to do with Eric Clapton.

    • ...Yet it didn't prevent him from producing extraordinarily beautiful guitar playing and music. I am glad that he has ceased all the abuses, had he not stopped, he would probably have joined Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison years ago.
