'Nother question now.
In the early seventies, Eric Clapton fell heavily into heroin addiction. He withdrew from the music business and eventually began selling his possessions to support his drug habit. When he started selling his prized guitars, another famous rocker stepped in, unable to bear seeing Clapton go so far as to sell the things that matteredmost to him. With this other man's help, Eric kicked the habit and moved on to have a productive career.
Who helped him out in his time of need?

Interesting answers, but I'm going with members of Fleetwood Mac, primarily Mick Fleetwood and Lindsay Buckingham. I'd like to say Lennon but I don't think Yoko would have let him.
Page maybe but he's a prick and I don't see him helping anyone. Beck was probably just as broke, and Townshend was pretty much as reclusive and as into heroin as Clapton was.
Harrison very good answer but considering the era and that was the period Clapton had run off with Harrison's wife (I believe), it would have been a true gesture of love and friendship to do so..... course everything I've ever heard of George that may have been the case.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
