“I found a pattern in my behavior that had been repeating itself for years, decades even. Bad choices were my specialty, and if something honest and decent came along, I would shun it or run the other way.”
With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of his eventful and inspiring life in this poignant and honest autobiography. More than a rock star, he is an icon, a living embodiment of the history of rock music. Well known for his reserve in a profession marked by self-promotion, flamboyance, and spin, he now chronicles, for the first time, his remarkable personal and professional journeys.
Born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents, Eric never knew his father and, until the age of nine, believed his actual mother to be his sister. In his early teens his solace was the guitar, and his incredible talent would make him a cult hero in the clubs of Britain and inspire devoted fans to scrawl “Clapton is God” on the walls of London’s Underground. With the formation of Cream, the world's first supergroup, he became a worldwide superstar, but conflicting personalities tore the band apart within two years. His stints in Blind Faith, in Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, and in Derek and the Dominos were also short-lived but yielded some of the most enduring songs in history, including the classic “Layla.”
During the late sixties he played as a guest with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, as well as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and longtime friend George Harrison. It was while working with the latter that he fell for George’s wife, Pattie Boyd, a seemingly unrequited love that led him to the depths of despair, self-imposed seclusion, and drug addiction. By the early seventies he had overcome his addiction and released the bestselling album 461 Ocean Boulevard , with its massive hit “I Shot the Sheriff.” He followed that with the platinum album Slowhand , which included “Wonderful Tonight,” the touching love song to Pattie, whom he finally married at the end of 1977. A short time later, however, Eric had replaced heroin with alcohol as his preferred vice, following a pattern of behavior that not only was detrimental to his music but contributed to the eventual breakup of his marriage.
In the eighties he would battle and beat alcoholism and become a father. But just as his life was coming together, he was struck by a terrible blow: His beloved four-year-old son, Conor, died in a freak accident. At an earlier time Eric might have coped with this tragedy by fleeing into a world of addiction. But now a much stronger man, he took refuge in music, responding with the achingly beautiful “Tears in Heaven.”
Clapton is the powerfully written story of a survivor, a man who has achieved the pinnacle of success despite extraordinary demons. It is one of the most compelling memoirs of our time.
埃里克•克莱普顿:
有史以来最伟大的吉他手之一,人称吉他上帝;传奇的布鲁斯音乐大师,《蕾拉》、《泪洒天堂》等都是广为流传的杰作;他尝试过多种音乐风格,布鲁斯、迷幻摇滚、雷鬼乐、每一种都获得了巨大成功;他获得过19项格莱美奖,3次入主摇滚名人堂。
克莱普顿是第二次世界大战时一个加拿大士兵的私生子,幼年失怙,命途多舛。他一度沉迷于毒品和酒精,感情生活长期混乱,其间还经历了很多好朋友的死;50岁育得一子,却在四岁时夭折。
现在的克莱普顿住在伦敦郊外,享受着天伦之乐。另外由于追悔自己的吸毒和酗酒经历,他建立了吸毒酗酒者的救助机构“十字路口中心”,并为这件事忙得不亦乐乎。
前两天看完了陈震老师译的埃里克·克莱普顿的自传《天堂十字路口》,总觉得要说点什么。我自认为还不够格来评论一部如此激动人心的摇滚巨作,因为我听摇滚乐的时间很短,对摇滚乐的认识也还很浅,所以这篇文章不能称为书评,只能算是一点琐碎感受吧。 一直以来,阅读外文作品时...

评分原文刊于《新京报》 我从来不是Eric Clapton的歌迷,尽管他从60年代起便被尊为了“吉他上帝”,至今已经三次入主摇滚名人堂、收获了十九座格莱美奖杯,在任何一个吉他英雄榜上都名列前茅,但我依然只把他看做杰出的吉他匠人而非具备超凡创造力的艺术家。加在Cream(Clapton为...
评分当伦敦的地铁出现“克莱普顿是上帝”涂鸦的时候,爱丽丝才十五岁,她漂亮、聪明、敏感,和所有的同龄人一样,着迷于Beatles、贾格尔以及克莱普顿。十六岁的时候,她在一个party上遇见了克莱普顿,那时候克莱普顿还不是MTV频道里面弹唱teas in heaven的眼睛中年男,他长发...
