“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.

另一件激动人心的事就是到达那些陌生之地，身临其境地去感受它们，然后离开。

事实上，当时的我太较劲了，如果别人演奏的不是纯正的布鲁斯，我就会横挑鼻子竖挑眼，这种态度可能和我的知识分子情结有关。我那会儿读波德尔的译本，看凯鲁亚克和金斯堡等美国作家的书，对法国和日本电影趋之若鹜。我开始越来越看不起流行音乐。

我深信世界杯的每场比赛都是假球。凡是这种攸关重大利益的事情，我都相信阴谋论，包括政治。

上帝给了你这些天赋，如果你不用，他就会把它收回。

人们总说他们能清楚记得肯尼迪总统遇刺时自己正在哪儿，自己正在干什么，可我却记不得了。但我清楚记得，巴迪·霍利死时，自己正在赶往操场的路上。我记得如此清楚。到处都变得跟墓园似的，大家都说不出话来，每个人都是那么地震惊。在当时所有的音乐英雄中，巴迪·霍利是最平易近人的一位，而且满身真功夫。他其貌不扬，从不装逼，但无疑是个货真价实的吉他手，而更靠谱的是，他还戴眼镜。他就是我们中的一员。他的突然离世给我们造成了极大的影响，之后有人说音乐死了。而对我来说，音乐之门却砰然打开。

最值得信赖的信仰传递方式就是音乐——它不会真的被操纵，或者被泛政治化，稍有异化就会被立即看出来。
