I could not disagree with you guys more.  "Tears in Heaven"
is probably the best post-Cream Clapton song I've ever
heard.  I'm not saying that I necessarily like it, but at
least it has some passion to it-- much better than his pop
crooning like "You look wonderful tonight" and the
absolutely grating "Riding with the King" and any other
Clapton song I can think of.  and what in the world is
wrong with a songwriter or any artist responding to some
personal tragedy with his art?  whether it's "best-selling"
or not.
