  • Eric Clapton
    ERIC CLAPTON BIOGRAFIA Eric Patrick Clapton nasceu em 30/03/1945 em Ripley, Inglaterra. Ganhou a sua primeira guitarra aos 13 anos e se interessou pelo Blues americano de artistas como Robert Johnson e Muddy Waters. Apelidado de Slowhand, é considerado um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo. O reconhecimento de Clapton só começou quando entrou no “Yardbirds”, banda inglesa de grande influência que teve o mérito de reunir três dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos em sua formação: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck e Jimmy Page. Apesar do sucesso que o grupo fazia, Clapton não admitia abandonar o Blues e, em sua opinião, o Yardbirds estava seguindo uma direção muito pop. Sai do grupo em 1965, quando John Mayall o convida a juntar-se à sua banda, os “Blues Breakers”. Gravam o álbum “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton”, mas o relacionamento com Mayall não era dos melhores e Clapton deixa o grupo pouco tempo depois. Em 1966, forma os “Cream” com o baixista Jack Bruce e o baterista Ginger Baker. Com a gravação de 4 álbuns (“Fresh Cream”, “Disraeli Gears”, “Wheels Of Fire” e “Goodbye”) e muitos shows em terras norte americanas, os Cream atingiram enorme sucesso e Eric Clapton já era tido como um dos melhores guitarristas da história. A banda separa-se no fim de 1968 devido ao distanciamento entre os membros. Neste mesmo ano, Clapton a convite de seu amigo George Harisson, toca na faixa “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” do White Album dos Beatles. Forma os “Blind Faith” em 1969 com Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker e Rick Grech, que durou por pouco tempo, lançando apenas um album.

  • Blind Faith and Reasonable Doubts: Investigating Beliefs in the Rule of Law
    ARTICLES Blind Faith and Reasonable Doubts: Investigating Beliefs in the Rule of Law Jessie Allen* The rule of law, whether applied to matters trivial or grand, is the central magic of the American governmental experience. New York Times Editorial1 In the winter of 1998-99, I was in a graduate law program designed for future law teachers. I found myself thinking with new urgency about old questions: Can our legal system produce results that are at least partly independent of political and economic power? Or does the law always wind up reproducing and reinforcing the pow- ers that be? In short, is there any such thing as the "rule of law"? By a bizarre accident of timing, my personal inquiry into rule of law issues coincided with a new popular interest in these matters brought about by the Clinton impeachment hearings. Suddenly, there were almost daily references in the news media and on the floor of Congress to the sanctity and vulnerability of the rule of law in our democracy. I was particularly struck by the quasi-religious tone that prevailed.2 It seemed paradoxical to me that this most rationalist ideal * J.S.D.

  • NOT BLIND FAITH the Verifiable Evidence That
    NOT BLIND FAITH The Verifiable Evidence That God Exists and Jesus Rose from the Dead How many times have you heard sceptics mockingly accuse Christians of blind faith? Atheists and agnostics equate a person’s belief in Christ as the equivalent to believing in the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. Although one may become emotional when he or she decides to become a follower of Jesus Christ, Christianity is not based on feelings or emotions. True Christianity is trust- ing in Christ and what He has done for us, which is based on verifiable evidence that God exists and that Jesus rose from the dead. The famous intellectual agnostic who converted to Christianity because of the overwhelming abundance of evidence, C. S. Lewis, said, Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.”1 The problem with Christianity in America, and the reason Christianity is becoming irrelevant, is too many professing Christians act as if Jesus is only moderately important. The term “Christian” literally means “follower of Christ”. Every person in the Bible who came face to face with the resurrected Christ was radically changed. I’m afraid we have too many church members and not enough Christ followers in America. Before proceeding, let me ask an honest question my friend Frank Turek likes to pose. If Christianity were true, would you become a Christian? 1 The Collected Leters of C.S. Lewis, Volume 2, HarperCollins, 2009, p. xi Read more at htp://izquotes.com/quote/111533 1 WHAT IS FAITH?

  • Delaney & Bonnie: Rock&Soul&Blues Amb Amics
    It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 02/03/2016 a les 00:01 Delaney & Bonnie: Rock&Soul&Blues amb amics D'esquerra a dreta: George Harrison, Bonnie, Eric Clapton i Delaney Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett han passat a la història de la música per haver estat el refugi d'Eric Clapton en una època molt difícil pel guitarrista britànic i haver deixat un gran llegat musical que, a més va influir notablement en la producció musical d'altres artistes de l'època. Delaney Bramlett va néixer al 1939 a Potomac (Mississippi), i va morir a L.A. el 2008 a l'edat de 69 anys. A principis dels 60 es va traslladar a L.A, on va iniciar una solida carrera al costat de compositors de renom i aviat es va establir com a músic de sessió. Es va fer un lloc com a membre de la banda del programa de TV Shindig i va editar diversos singles (sense pena ni glòria) al costat dels seus companys (avui mítics) Leon Russell i J.J. Cale (el seu primer guitarrista). Delaney amb seu enorme magnetisme es va convertir en el ?professor emèrit? del llegat del blues/rock/soul dels EUA d'il·lustres com Eric Clapton o George Harrison, i va captivar als Beatles i a Dave Mason, qui va abandonar Traffic per traslladar-se a USA per aprendre d'ell. Com va fer George Harrison, qui li va demanar que li ensenyés a tocar la ?slide guitar?, i de pas va conèixer les essències del gospel. My Sweet Lord i All Things Must Pass van ser el reflex https://www.naciodigital.cat/bergueda/noticia/5012/delaney-bonnie-rock-soul-blues-amb-amics Pagina 1 de 10 d'aquesta amistat i aquests ensenyaments.
