To be honest, I don't care how "pure" people think it is. I just want to hear good music. And Clapton provides that for thousands of people. At the end of the day, if you offer me a choice between "millionaire" Clapton, who I genuinely love the sound of, and "pure" blues which seems to be what is "right" to listen to, I am going to go with what I honestly enjoy more, which is Clapton, B.B. King and (to a very limited extent) Led Zeppelin, who, despite being popular have provided me with more enjoyable music than whoever "pure blues" seems to come from. And yes, I would probably give the cheesewire busker some money, but I am not going to record him with my camera, rave about him to my friends and follow him around everywhere.
