“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 1979. 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 begin his recovery from 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.
埃裏剋•剋萊普頓:
有史以來最偉大的吉他手之一,人稱吉他上帝;傳奇的布魯斯音樂大師,《蕾拉》、《淚灑天堂》等都是廣為流傳的傑作;他嘗試過多種音樂風格,布魯斯、迷幻搖滾、雷鬼樂、每一種都獲得瞭巨大成功;他獲得過19項格萊美奬,3次入主搖滾名人堂。
剋萊普頓是第二次世界大戰時一個加拿大士兵的私生子,幼年失怙,命途多舛。他一度沉迷於毒品和酒精,感情生活長期混亂,其間還經曆瞭很多好朋友的死;50歲育得一子,卻在四歲時夭摺。
現在的剋萊普頓住在倫敦郊外,享受著天倫之樂。另外由於追悔自己的吸毒和酗酒經曆,他建立瞭吸毒酗酒者的救助機構“十字路口中心”,並為這件事忙得不亦樂乎。
史蒂芬。金的评论对这本书再合适不过了“克莱普顿是真诚的~~~~~在这本书中,有他的深情和睿智,还带着幸存者式的残酷幽默~~~~一本勋章之书” 当然这个评语我是从书后面抄下来的,我觉得他说的很多。他不仅仅看到书里写出的东西,还看到了没写出的东西。 这本书里,克莱普顿没...
評分好莱坞往往青睐艺术家传记片。那些少年成名的天才,成名后自毁沉沦,最后自我救赎得到升华。 如果Eric Clapton的生平拍成了电影,一定也是这样的“主旋律”。虽然情节老套,但充满着精彩的细节。因为没有人能像他那样,横跨四十多年的摇滚乐史,跟众多天才和大师都有过合作甚至...
評分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...
評分我是在2013年的国庆长假期间看完这本自传的。期间,微博上异常安静只有媒体和品牌在继续聒噪,微信朋友圈上所有人都在晒世界各地的旅游照片,而我假期的大部分空闲时间都花在了这本书以及听他书里提到的20多张专辑上面了。 我其实是个伪摇滚迷,高中时代就开始弹吉他听欧美音乐...
