During a packed concert, Eric Clapton noticed one girl sitting still while everyone else cheered. Sarah, 16 and profoundly deaf, felt the music through vibrations instead of sound. Moved, Clapton stopped the show, brought her onstage, turned the bass up, and played just for her. As the notes pulsed through her body, she cried. In that quiet moment, everyone learned music isn’t only heard—it’s felt deeply.

One of the funniest classic rock stories to me is Eric Clapton asking Pete Townshend to distract George Harrison while he tried to cuck him woo Pattie Boyd only for Pete to immediately fall in love with George.

Old rock stars and rain - an alignment chart

Obviously, not every instance of a rock star talking about rain appears on this chart, I just thought this was a good spread. (Examples that didn't make the chart: Phil Collins' "I Wish It Would Rain Down" and Peter Gabriel's "Red Rain" for being too obscure, Queen's "Rain Must Fall" (lyrics by Freddie Mercury) for literally just occupying the same space as "The Rain Song" because it's almost the same exact line.)

Yet another @bluecrowsfly - @monarchetype original

I hate when people dumb down Pattie as nothing more than a girlfriend of two famous musicians, she was a model who is now a photographer. Also they both treated her badly and both were bad marrieges.

George was an emotionally neglecting cheater and Eric was a woman beater and a rapist, but people refuse to acknowledge this cause “Oh but the songs they made about her were so beautiful!” The songs are good but definitely not the people who wrote them
