I'm probably going to regret this reply...but I have visited this thread a couple of times today, trying to gather enough context through the fog of innuendo and sarcasm, and through the subtle conversational connotations of shared e-personal relationships, ... to figure out "What's going on" (thanks, Marvin Gaye). I would have much appreciated if the original post by Tuesday Afternoon (a pseudonym presumably chosen from the Moody Blues' first hit) had linked to the post where she/he learned those things on DU today (reminiscent of Tom Paxton's What Did You Learn in School Today), 'cause I couldn't figure that out myself.

Then, I discovered that someone had replied with a Gold Dust Woman (Fleetwood Mac) video. Where does that fit in???

So, when I read your comment, "Strange brew, that's all I'm sayin", suddenly I had a piton to which I could attach a rope!!!

So, my question is, does anyone really believe that Eric Clapton ever actually looked like this...
