To understand that the greatest rock love song ever was written in a desperate and almost petulant fit born more out of lust and chemical addictions then real romantic feelings is the reality of both the music business and of life. And for a lot of us, so is love.

In such a short time he left behind a lot of classic playing people try and reach, or ascend past which I believe of Derek Trucks certainly

Love Triangle pt2: Sadly, reading this completely changed my view of George, who I always admired as one of the only spiritually centered rockstars and a close parallel to who I've always been. Not the rockstar part, just a lover of their music -- but ironically I so closely resemble Eric Clapton, I've been mistaken for him many times. Examples: 1) I was invited by a band member on break at BB King's Blues Club in LA to come up and play with them; 2) I was invited by the in-store DJ at Virgin Megastore on Sunset Blvd (largest, most popular music & video store in LA at that time) to record some celebrity endorsements 3) Numerous requests for my autograph. Made me feel really weird though because I felt like wildroses07 because of his betrayal of his best friend. After reading this, I feel the same way about George. He was even more promiscuous, including the wives of Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood. To find this, search on: Pattie Boyd: 'My hellish love triangle with George and Eric'

I've always wondered about the "real story" behind the Pattie Boyd, George Harrison, Eric Clapton love triangle. Like many others, I lost a lot of respect for Eric Clapton because of the popular media angle on this story that says "Eric Clapton stole George Harrison's wife." I've known since back then that Eric was extremely drug addicted for many years and just assumed his behavior emerged out of his distorted world created by the addiction (I've been there - during that same period so I know how much it warps people and brings out their darkest, most dysfunctional tendencies.) I finally researched it and found a 2 part text interview + video interview with Pattie Boyd. It totally opened my eyes to the real story which is more about the decadence of that whole rockstar culture, not just one man's addiction, obsession, & betrayal. It turns out George was in many ways worse than Eric, since he didn't obsess on just one woman - he wanted them all as his spiritual (and s_xual) concubines.

Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs may have been Derek and the Dominos' only album, but this blues-rock classic is often considered Eric Clapton’s magnum opus. Here, you’ll find Slowhand revealing his unrequited love for George Harrison’s then-wife Pattie Boyd on the standout track “Layla. Proving the song had staying power, Clapton’s Unplugged solo version won a Grammy over two decades later. -- watchmojo

Everybody seems to forget Drummer Jim Gordon's classic piano solo on The Coda. I don't. One of the great talents of the 70's, sessioned on many an album back then. Jim's later fate is a tragic tale best left for to tell another time/place, not here now.
