For us it was rolling down Lakeshore Drive blasting "Deserted Cities Of The Heart" from the 8-track player hidden under the driver's seat of our '63 Opel Kadett. Sufficiently high on the herb to insure that I was doing at least 5 under the limit.
Clapton is certainly not the first geezer I know of to have gone around the bend...just the most famous and one of the more discouraging. Perhaps there's something bad organic going on in his head...he abused alcohol and heavy substances for a long time. No excuse, just an observation.
Goddamn...I still love that song.
