Summary

Please consider this episode of the podcast your one-time-only, always-true, get-it-tattooed-somewhere-on-your-body-and-never-worry-about-new-facts-coming-to-light reminder: you do not under any circumstances need to hand it to the band Cream. Forget every stupid Boomer joke you've ever heard that implies Eric Clapton was once a good guitarist or was once in a good band. It's always been a myth. Cream was unquestionably the most over-rated band of the 1960s and anyone who wants to argue about that has no good opinions on music.

0:00.0	Yeah, I'm trying to die tonight. It's funny when you search bands like cream on Google,
0:22.8	you have to put cream band. Because if you just search cream sucks, it's like,
0:27.1	we'll say we're clean and like people that are like lactose intolerant are like, yeah,
0:31.9	fuck cream. How shitty is cream? And it's like, oh, they're actually talking about, you know,
0:37.8	cream. It's legitimately a bad band name just for that reason. It only existed for three years.
0:42.9	So fuck this. This this episode should be as long 10 minutes for every year. This band even existed
0:48.7	10 minutes. So this is going to be what a 30 25 minute episode. It's also even worse when you
0:55.2	realize why they chose the name cream. It's because they're assholes. Yeah, it's exactly that.
1:01.8	It's because they were all in bands that had previously gotten attention on the rock scene in
1:08.4	England. And a lot of people think of this as the first super group, which is fucking hilarious
1:13.9	because if Eric Clapton didn't go on to have the solo career that he had, nobody would give a
1:19.1	shit about the bands they were originally in. But people did at the time. So when these guys came
1:23.8	together to form cream, they themselves were referring to themselves as the cream of the crop.
1:31.0	We're the best. This band name basically means we are the best. There's a, I will say this
1:38.2	all the way up until this very moment in time, at least Eric Clapton has legitimately kept
1:48.0	the Venn diagram of cream backslash Eric Clapton fans and pure assholes, a perfect circle.
1:57.7	There's no chance that you loved cream slash Eric Clapton and you're not a complete piece of
2:04.9	shit. No chance here not. You're a dickhead. The reason why we have to do an episode on cream is
2:11.8	there is enough material and be fucking obviously at some point we're going to do an entirely
2:18.6	separate episode on Eric Clapton. Holy shit. That guy's songs. What the fuck? I know that's the
2:25.8	thing is I wonder, okay, people forget. So Clapton explodes again in the 90s with tears from heaven
