Leaerner says an ancient inscription(aka graffiti) rrefered to Jesus as god therefore implying Jesus is god. 1960s graffiti proclaimed Eric Clapton was god. Proof positive that Clapton is god.

Some worshiped hm and his guitar as a god.

In an interview Clapton said he did not know why people liked his music, only that when he played a certain way people liked it. Jerry Garcia said the same thing.

People find meaning in anything.


"Clapton is God" is a 1960s meme referencing the English guitarist Eric Clapton. The line was popularised after being spray-painted on a wall in London during the mid-1960s, when Clapton was a member of the Yardbirds and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, creating the cult of the guitar hero.[2]

The 'Jesus as god cult' probably arose in the manner as myths of pop music has. Imagination.

Frank Zappa’s commentary on Clapton’s guitar supremacy has always stuck with me.
“People say Clapton is the world’s greatest guitar player because he can play anything.
I say I am the greatest because I can play anything - but I don’t.”
 
The Beatles: Get Back is a three-part documentary about the Beatles' final album and rooftop concert. It offers an interesting look at the Beatles working together, under emotional pressure. How many of you have seen it?

George Harrison quit the project for five days, and had to be coaxed back in. John Lennon wasn't too concerned about Harrison's unavailability: "We'll get Clapton."
 
Pop music culture manifests itself. Fans quote musicians like Christians quote Jesus. If you wnt to understand reiligion look at pop music.

If you know something about misc you would see Clapton's and others riffs anprogessionss cae from earlier black music.

Alex Lomax went around the country recording rural music for the Libra Of Congress.

The recordings of Robert Johnson were very influential. He became a dead mythical figure inn the white music culture.

Clapton like Jess did not appear out of nowhere.

Most fans of Clapton in the day had no idea where his riffs came from.

As to what Zappa may have said, Clapton was well known as a studio musician.

Roy Clark and Chet Atkins were much better guitarists. Wes Montgomery. Les Paul.

But Clapton became the cult hero. Like Jesus became a cult hero.

Georg Martin made the Beatles. From a doc unary a lot of the lyrics refereed to people in the Beatles' social circle, outsiders would never know that and find meaning.

The rumors were Paul was dead. His going barefoot on an album cover was considered a sign.

Paul was dead and replaced by a lookalike.

Go0back 2000 years and it was 'Jesus rose from the dead'.
