inspiration from the greats like B.B.King, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and the other Chicago blues

rest of the members preferred to become commercial.

“Eric Clapton is God” that claim made on asbestos in the early days makes me wonder whether we’ll

be convinced of a greater power if Clapton drops by too.
