Nobody Flashes…Remembering George
Nobody Flashes
A classic. And fitting because Paul was there, but Eric really carried that song. The reason it was such a hit in the first place was because he did the guitar solos on the FIRST recording.
The older I get, the more I think, that Clapton truly was the mentor for all guitar players that followed him. The first time I heard him I was a young girl, at a concert here in St. Louis with his band Cream. I was so taken by that experience that after the concert I walked out into heavy traffic…still hypnotized. and no, I was NOT on drugs or stoned.
Watching this, after George died, and knowing Eric married Pattie, George’s first wife, and THEN standing next to George’s son, who looks SO much like him it’s almost astounding the DNA…well, you wonder if these two, Paul and Eric know just how much the music they made have meant to so MANY people.
They create, because they HAVE to.
Eric took a simple song, and made you feel every note. I’m sure he was thinking of his old friend George. Probably even more than Paul.
Enjoy…

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
