Clapton draws a line in the sand
Clapout is once again demonstrating his moral high-ground and making a strike for democracy. It all started in the Tundra Bar, east Greenland, Clapto was talking to Sting and told him about an experience he had in the 70's.
Sympathy for the Devil
It seems that Slowbrain was lying on the couch after taking a bucket-load of drugs. In his crazed stupor he switched on the television and zoned into Blue Peter (big-time UK kids programme, in case our US pals are reading) and heard about vandals wrecking the famed garden and stuff.
1973 - Knives in NW10
It was in 1973, a long time ago. Anyway, Clapout related to Sting how this outrage (the Garden fiasco) shocked him out of his drug-dependency for two days. But then he forgot all about it.
Never been in a riot
Sting picks up the story: "Eric looked me in the eye and slammed his low alcohol beer on the bar. He then told me of his grand plan. He would reopen the case of the Blue Peter garden. He - Clapout the great - would ride out from his Greenland home and strike fear into the hearts of the vandals, the garden wreckers."
To cut a long story short
According to eyewitnesses Stink and his main man drank themselves stupid and faxed Inspector Franks at Stoke Newington police station. Franks, it seems, owes Clapout a few favours from his 'grobineist' days. Franks agreed to reopen the books and will make Clapto his number one source.

you should add a couple of decades onto the picture, this was taken in
1973)
We at Snowball salute Clapton, who once again proves his right to be Blues Master of the West.
