In the late 1960s, one of the most prominent pieces of graffiti seen in London and New York was "Clapton is
God." Thirty years later, the stalwart guitarist and singer continues to hold the initiated enthralled, and a fair
share of his present-day fans weren't even born when those words of worship were emblazoned on public
edifices. Clapton's meandering and groundbreaking musical career has been punctuated by extreme personal
hardship and tragedy. Through the emotional truth of his music, he has sought refuge and release from the
suffering of drug and alcohol addiction, personal relationships gone awry, and the deaths of several loved ones.
