Eric Clapton is 61 today.
(In the late 1960s, one of the most prominent items of graffiti was “Clapton is God.”)
Clapton has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times — as a member of the Yardbirds, a member of Cream and as a solo artist. (And he recorded one of his trademark songs — “Layla” — as a member of Derek and the Dominos.)
