== Clapton wasn't popular within the band == 

 A new article on the Guardian Unlimited website  Eric Clapton is not God quotes Jim McCarty as saying "Eric had these R&B; mod songs he wanted us to do. Him leaving was a relief. Eric would be sitting in the van not talking to anyone. You'd think he's so moody, he's such a pain, we're fed up with this." 

 I'm not a regular editor on this article so I'm not going to wade in something negative like this, but I thought I'd point it out here so it can be discussed and maybe one of the regulars adding something about it in. '''
