Alot of artists think their last album, is the best thing they've ever done. While subjective, I'm pretty sure most people would say Layla was his best song ever, and will not be topped. And have no use for anything new....just the die hards.

I'm a Springsteen fan...and have friends and family who are too, but I guarantee you they couldn't name one song from his last five albums, maybe more, they might recognize it if heard.

But the legend does live in a different era, for most of the greats, clap, page, Townsend, stones, etc... None is them have made a great record in decades, yet they prevail. They don't fall away like many artists do. I guess their core stuff is so classic it sustains them.

But for me when I see Clapton, or hear him, I don't say"gee he hasn't done anything in decades" I say..."there he is ...Clapton!"

Basically mean he is an is, not a was.

People just love to chit on people, build them up, knock em down try them build em up again, To each their own
