You got this wrong about the Frank Zappa photo. That was HIS living room, not his parents. Honest. I lived there.

Regarding Clapton and grandmother. Clapton never knew his father. His dad took off as a typical deadbeat father before Eric was born or before those 18 months on this earth that none of us are supposed to be able to remember. At least that’s what I gather from some psychology articles. Evidently Clapton’s mother left him with his good grandma to take care of him or she died before he made it big time, etc. Unlike liar president Obama(who I now regret voting for)who was also brought up by his grandmother, Clapton did good things for us with his music, while sell out “house boy” Obama sold out to the corporations and banks and reneged on all of his promises in his campaign to bring this country back to the social democracy which USA was starting(and stopped by REAGAN, and every president that followed) in the 1970′s. Clapton also came back to help the guys who vaulted him into fame–ginger baker, and jack bruce–after two decades of not talking to them till Cream’s introduction in the rock hall of fame in the 1990′s or early 2000′s, can’t remember. Clapton paid for expensive medical care needed for Ginger Baker maybe 5 or ten years ago. Good bless Clapton for his music. God damn Obama for reneging on his promises and filling his staff with wall street evil bastards. trivia: Clapton’s real last name is Clapp.

Is it just me or do those interiors look totally cool!? I could even imagine seeing them in Dwell, or Wallpaper, – with the exception of Eric Claptons’ mum’s home. Sorry Eric’s mum

Agree about the colour of Zappa’s living room wall – notice how they kind of carried on painting over the fireplace,leaving enough brick showing – maybe they decided it wasn’t such a good idea after all.

Anne (#21), you do realize that Elton’s the old looking dude seated on his mum’s left (well, actually on her Danish modern table). The cute dude is Elton’s stepdad, Fred Fairebrother. Sadly, mostly to Elton, a post-adolescent Elton has never been cute as a button.

I remember finding this issue in my great-grandmother’s apartment right about the time I became besotted with Elton John. The shots are like Wallpaper mag before Wallpaper mag existed. Brill.
