When we went into the changing room, Eric Clapton was playing his guitar (unamplified) in the corner and ignored us. Jack Bruce just ignored us, and Ginger Baker was throwing up in a corner from his shot of heroin. But otherwise ignored us.Very cool. Love Eric Clapton. Was not a big Cream fan but loved his stuff later ...
BUt hey, f*ck 'em, I nicked a pair of Ginger baker's drumsticks after the show.
Call me a tea leaf.
Do you still have the drumsticks?
Nah. I kept them for the longest time but eventually chucked them out when we were moving house.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
