Years ago, MTV had a show called Rock 'N Roll Jeopardy. Just like the regular one, but with music questions. In one episode, back in the 90's I believe, the host asked the the contestants to name three bands that Eric Clapton was in. None of the three could name even one. So, the host kicked them all off the stage and pulled three new contestants from the audience! It was sad and funny at the same time!

Random story, one day in the early 60's, before any of these now very famous artists were famous, my mum's cousin went to a pub in another town, there were a couple of bands and singers playing and she got talking to one of them after they did their bit, he mentioned that he had a gig in Manchester the night after and was looking for transport to get their (from Leeds). As my mum's cousin lived in Oldham next to manchester, we still do, she offered him a lift in her little mini and said he could stay overnight, sleep on the settee, an offer he accepted, you can probably tell where this is going, the singer was Eric Clapton....
