Well this was a surprise. Eric Clapton just put out a new single titled, ‘Pompous Fool’. Nice guitar and violin sound…Eric’s voice is still solid as ever. The lyrics are what’s interesting. ‘Live your life by the golden rule…pay no mind to the pompous fool’. As Ultimate Classic Rock reports and speculates that the song coincidentally was released at the same time U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson stepped down from office due to scandal. Or is Clapton singing about some other politician? Regardless, I like the melody and the mere fact that Eric is still making music considering he has been dealing with health issues that could force him to stop playing all together.
