...past 30 years, Eric Clapton has performed and recorded with some of the finest musicians ever to play rock and roll, jazz and the blues. Even on Journeyman, Clapton managed to attract talent like George Harrison and Robert Cray, as well as musicians Phil Collins and David Sanborn and vocalists Chaka Khan and Daryl Hall.

The hunks (Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, Clint Eastwood) go crusading for the Grail, the heavyweight title, the urban psycho, but have few communal roots; they are loners, in quest only of the quest.
