i happen to be a cream fan.
i recall reading a story about jack bruce's life after cream called it quits. sometime in the seventies he took up jazz and was excited about showing folks what he had been up to at a dinner party in london. apparently all sorts of industry heavies, musicians, and other music community types attended and bruce started playing jazz licks on the bass. it turned out that absolutely no one was at all interested in what he was offering up and he turned into just background noise, at one point finding himself alone in an empty room weeping. so sad considering how powerful a voice and how talented a writer he is.
pubic television in these parts just broadcast cream's reunion back in may at the royal albert hall. they played ten or twelve pieces. some sounded dated others were pretty average....but three or four were magic. in their sixties and still rockin!!!' a charmed existence man.
yeah. i'm a cream fan.
