I love MMW and when you add John Scofield to the mix, well---it's a funky good time. I wouldn't mind putting down a few tunes like this. It's invigorating.

This is a great record: A Go Go: "Chank"

When I was working at Warner Bros. I met plenty of artists whose lives were a constant and all-consuming series of dramas. And, believe me, sometimes that drama was really dysfunctional. By the time I became president of Reprise, Eric Clapton's career and outward personal life were on an even keel and just about the polar opposite of "drama." Interestingly, he was producing some of the greatest music of his career but the booze and drugs and babes... nowhere that I noticed.

Tomorrow Reprise is releasing another greatest hits package-- a 2 CD career-spanning set, Complete Clapton (36 tracks)-- and Random House is putting out Eric's Autobiography-- the one with all the drama, drugs, booze and babes. Warners has a really good trailer out with previews. This week Eric will be a guest on both the Today show and Larry King's CNN show (Friday). Here's a live version of one of my own all time favorite Clapton songs... for the ladies.

The Dixie Chicks on Larry King
The Dixie Chicks joined Larry King Wednesday and gave their first live prime time interview since criticizing Bush in '03.

They talked about Natalie's comment about President Bush, what people said about them and how they felt about the response when and after it happened. A caller made the point that Donald Rumsfeld taped his interview with Larry instead of going live and called him a coward.

Caller: What do you think about Donald Rumsfeld?

Emily: He weaves around questions better than anyone I've ever seen---He's the weaver.
