From: Clapton, The Autobiography (by Eric Clapton)
"Ethically it was never a problem for me, and it is the same with fishing. My family and I eat what I catch and shoot. It is fresh and healthy and we love it. I am a hunter; it is in my genes, and I am quite comfortable with that. I also support a lot of other countryside pursuits, quite simply because I believe they are an important part of our culture and heritage, and need protecting, usually from people, or movements of people, who have little understanding of the delicate economic balance of countryside communities and who have watched too many Disney movies."

I always thought, except for a few, that Rock Singers were for gun control. Isn't the old group "ZZ Top" pro-Gun?

David if you only like three you just haven't heard enough of his music. He does something for everyone. Being a big blues fan he does a bunch that I like. |

I knew he was a fisherman but I didn't know he also hunted, pretty cool.
Now if only Rock had a few more Claptons and Nugents and a lot less McCartneys and Youngs.

Being a big blues fan he does a bunch that I like. About the only three songs, performed by Eric Clapton, which I like are: "After Midnight", "I Shot The Sheriff", and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". Had a former Girlfriend, that was a huge fan of Eric Clapton. |

Clapton is one of the best and most talented guitarists in history, and I'm glad he takes that stance. Go Clapton!!!  |
