Default Eric Clapton: Life In 12 Bars
Has anyone else watched the Showtime documentary (?) "Eric Clapton: Life In 12 Bars? It is over two hours long and uses photos, home movies, TV and video footage to tell his life story. Much of it tells how he opened the blues to a wider audience thru rock bands. His personal life was a mess for over 50 years. I enjoyed this al lot more than I anticipated.

I watched it and thought it was outstanding. I always new about his past with drugs and alcohol but the show went into details I didn’t know.

Very highly recommended.

I didn't know that his drinking was that big of a problem. His family life as a child and young man was really strange.

Watched it a few weeks back and really enjoyed it. Like others I knew Clapton had drugs and alcohol problems but had no idea of how bad it really was.
