Eric Clapton Interview

The Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot gets a surprisingly candid interview with Eric Clapton:

"I think I deliberately sold out a couple of times. I picked the songs that I thought would do well in the marketplace, even though I didn't really love the song. But that's been kind of limited. I feel I've been very true to my principles, even the way I sing."
