I was a kid still when I saw EC. He was in a show with Carlos Santana in Denver. (1973? I had the ticket stub for a long time but finally lost it.) I was a fan of his then because GEORGE HARRISON.
His contribution to the blues art form cannot be denied. (That being said, that scarcely makes him a good candidate for medical advice-giver.) Keep in mind he’s a junkie (no matter how many years he’s been clean). It’s a low, low lifestyle. But, haha, that doesn’t disqualify him from being a blues musick legend. (Robt Johnson died at age 21-22 from high living and being a skank.)
Someone else on this forum said “You can’t get unvaccinated.” Sorry he had to learn the hard way not to trust the Medical Gestapo.
I agree with you.. and not just because I was raised on Cream.
