Guitar player who has gone from being called "God" by playing a bastardized form of the blues in garage bands (Yardbirds) and psychedelic hippie bands (Cream, Blues Breakers, Blind Faith, Derek and the Domino's), to a solo artist using the same ploy of playing the white man blues. Since his hey day in the mid 70s, he's cautiously made albums that cater to his fans, never venturing too far from his middle of the road style blues and mid tempo rock he started playing in the 70s. His fan base is primarily white guys who claim to like the blues, but only if played by 'guitar heroes' and would never venture to the south side of Chicago, or stray from Beale St in Memphis. They like their blues done beer commercial style.
Its questionable if any of his material from the last 25 years has any relevance musically, with the exception of "Tears In Heaven", a quiet, heartfelt song about the death of his toddler son. So called "die hard Clapton fans" hate this song of course, becuase it introduced Clapton to a middle of the road audience and was a big hit, oh, and because "it didn't rock, dude".

Eric and Betty are the sexiest people in the world. An Eric was born to be with a Betty and vice versa. Betty are so fond of Eric's, they are great couples, if either a Betty or an Eric find the other, they should never let them go.

Besties, when these two get together look out world they will feed off eachother energy and bring joy to each others world. They will somtimes wonder why there introduction took so long. The Eric will somtimes wonder if he should just marry the Julie to take her out of the dating pool, and because he loves her very much. The Julie will read this and melt.
