One of the original 'c**k rockers' - and damn good at it as well. But all that posturing is starting to look a bit silly now at his age.

Same goes for Mick Jagger, Steve Tyler and all the rest of them in my book, I'm afraid.

The strange thing is that the old blues guys who many of those late 60's/early 70's singers were setting out to copy never looked stupid cos they did what they did with more dignity than Jagger, etc ever had.

Compare Clapton with those I've just mentioned above. He stands on stage with his guitar, plays his music and carries it off with so much of that blues dignity cos there's no posturing involved.

Just my 2c.............

And yes, Paul Rodgers still has a fantastic voice.
