Cream Guitarist a Reluctant Idol
Pete Johnson, Los Angeles Times, 13 October 1968
ERIC CLAPTON is a guitarist who has had the misfortune of being nearly deified by rock 'n' roll fans at the age of 23. Clapton is the guitarist of the Cream, an immodestly titled trio which has more than lived up to its name by becoming the hottest rock concert attraction in this country (the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan could give them a run, but none of the three is performing now).
