So I'm really excited today because I am one of my

greatest rock and roll heroes and now I'm here on other respects to Eric Clapton.

And I grew up in the generation which is the clap the clap in his god generation.

I grew up with the yard birds. I told you in our first kind of communications and following

you since then in cream blues breakers dirt and the dominoes when you when you did the tour with

I'm honest a line says every I have every album I've ever made and you know I just grew up in

that era which you're very familiar with. I wanted to just do a little bit of a recap of your

career. 129 million records sold 18 gold platinum or diamond records 18 Grammys unprecedented

three inductions in the rock and roll hall of fame for different headings.

Eric has played with every band that you've ever heard of with Bob Dylan with the wreath of

Franklin with the who with the Beatles with the Rolling Stones with the almond brothers Jimmy Hendrix

some really amazing amazing career. And now a Rolling Stone magazine considered him one of the

greatest rock and roll here as of all time and now you are a villain to the world.

So talk a little bit and I know first of all I want to tell you audience Eric has done something

he never does which is not just a talk to somebody outside of his narrowing to be famously shy

and not only talking to somebody outside of his circle of friends but also talking to somebody

at seven or eight o'clock in the evening or I don't know how late it is over there but

I was told by him and others and he never talks to anybody after dinner but he made this

a combination so because Eric's in France and I'm in LA so I'm really grateful that you made that

a combination and I will I'll tell people up front so that if you make any like dramatic errors

and you have a good excuse up front but tell us that was what you know how did you walk into

this bus because you knew it was going to happen if you talked about this bus or yeah what happened
