Back
in the early - mid 60's not many top musicians were available...Ginger
Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton were only three of them...hence the
name. Cream, the top. This might sound a super ego-boosting name for a
band to adopt but Cream were something else.
They reached a level, in
their music, that only very few bands have ever, ever achieved. Take a
listen to "Crossroads - Robert Johnson cover" and you will see
what I mean about Cream the best psychedelic, rock, blues, afro-beat
fusion that was generated and fuelled by this high-power trio. The years
have passed and music has changed indeed...but Cream, for those who
loved them, were a great inspiration without a doubt...some of the most
original music ever captured and performed.
Big money though, always
changed the man...each member of the band became a self-admiring freak,
Jack and Ginger were not even talking for a good few years after Cream
separated, Clapton was trying drugs so he didn't have the time... so
this is a message from Foxx to all of you kids who think that they're
doing something really worthy... don't you ever let your pathetic
egomania grow larger than the status of your music...to your ears...
