61 year old Bass player Jack Bruce has had a liver transplant and 65 year old drummer Ginger Baker suffers from arthritis, but Eric Clapton’s first big rock group — Cream (you know, Sunshine of Your Love, Badge, White Room, etc)– lives on.
Craig Newmark points us to Fark.com‘s comment on this article about the reunion concert of the 1960’s rock band:
Cream reunites in concert. For those of you under 40: Cream was Eric Clapton’s old band. Under 30: Clapton was once a big rock star. And for you under 20: Rock was a kind of music they used to play on the radio.
And don’t miss Banjo Jones’ musings on what happened to Cream after Clapton heard The Band.
It’s kind of silly – like watching the Barely Rolling Stones. I saw Cream live at the Ampitheater in Chicago. They were great, but why wait until you’re geriatric to come back – just for the money? Why not pay to see another Ali-Foreman fight?
