Yeah, I noticed. Duh.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that ice is really frozen water???

Yes, and there's some other song that references "Sunshine Of Your Love" and I always think it's "Blue Moon".

Egad, you're right! Moving it from a major to minor context makes it almost unrecognizable. Now I'm gonna have that stuck in my head all day, or until I take out the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash and put Cream in...

Someday, I gotta get you a copy of a bootleg I have of Hendrix playing Sunshine of your Love. It's the best live recording I have by any artist. It has a dead-on parody of Clapton's solo... not to mention some outright abuse of the audience.

The second half of the solo is the good half, though. I never thought Clapton was much of guitar player, really, but the second half of this solo is cool...
