Claiming that it has always been an anti-drug song, Eric Clapton has returned the classic hit "Cocaine" to the play list for the North American leg of his current world tour. Clapton, who established the Crossroads Centre addiction recovery center on the Caribbean island of Antigua, stopped playing the song after he began recovery for addiction and alcoholism.\n"I thought that it might be giving the wrong message to people who were in the same boat as me," Clapton told The Associated Press. But the blues guitar playing icon recently changed his mind about playing the song and explained his reasoning.\n\n"But further investigation proved ... the song, if anything, if it's not even ambivalent, it's an anti-drug song. And so I thought that might be a better way to do it, to approach it from a more positive point of view. And carry on performing it as not a pro-drug song, but just as a reality check about what it does," Clapton told the AP reporter.\n\n"It's one of those songs that you can take it any way you like," Clapton said. "But it very clearly says in the opening verse, `If you wanna get down, down on the ground,' I mean, that's, I think, the focal point of the song. That's what the song's about, is that, you know, there's a price."\n\nClapton also admitted that he missed playing the song.\n\nBut is the song really an anti-drug song and is it perceived as such by loyal Slowhand fans? Following are the lyrics to "Cocaine" written by J.J. Cale. Read them and decide for yourself.\n\nIf you wanna hang out you've got to take her out; cocaine.\nIf you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine.\nShe don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.\n\nIf you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.\nWhen your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.\nShe don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.\n\nIf your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.\nDon't forget this fact, you can't get it back; cocaine.\nShe don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.

I just heard that Chris has been offered the lead singing position of the band Fuel. I don't know if he'll take it or not, he probably has to wait and finish his Amercan Idol responsibilities.

Are you talking about the new song "Chelsea" from the new group named "Stefy" featured in the upcoming movie, "John Tucker Must Die"? If so, that is a mixed up version of the beat from "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics...back in the 80's.

I, for one, never heard Chris say that it was his original arrangement.  I never heard Barry Manilow say that it was Chris' arrangement either.  I heard the piano player say that they were doing something a little different.  There was some speculation as to whether Chris mentioned that it was "Live's version" in the pre-performance monologue and that it may have been edited out. I really don't think that Chris would try to pass it off as his own when just the week before he gave proper credit to the Red Hot Chili Peppers for the version of "Higher Ground" that he did. I hope that this doesn't hurt Chris' chances of winning.  I think that he is a very talented performer.

Ian Moore. Muddy Jesus.  I first met my husband at a concert of his in '95! I love Ian Moore. More than ... well, nevermind! I'd type out the lyrics, but it's quite a long song. Bet you could Google them! BTW, I think it's about drug-smuggling.

On some things I'd have to say yes.\n\nSome of the vocals on Nymphetamine (the song) have an electronic sounding stutter.  And he definately uses delay, reverb and double-tracking/harmonizing elsewhere.\n\nOf course it could be argued that the simple act of singing into a microphone "moderates" any voice, although I think your question was more specific than that.

I find that not only his voice has changed, but his style as well.  And this seemed to happen at about the same time which would be circa Scarface.  I dunno.  His choice of characters have been the rough n' tumble type for a while now (Scarface, Heat, The Rookie, Glen Garry Glenross, The Devil's Advocate) so maybe he matched his voice with the characters or he is choosing those characters for personal reasons and he moves toward that voice.  I don't know, he rarely gives interviews so I don't know what he sounds like outside of a movie.

I love the new single and I can't wait for the new album in Sept.  I'm 28 yrs. old and I'm still a huge fan of JT.  He's not just for teeny boppers.  He's a good musician, very talented and I agree, he will be around for awhile.  Besides, he's very easy on the eyes.  What did R Kelly say???

I've read several articles pertaining to the song, and there is absolutely NO mention of McGraw doing the backing vocals. I can provide the links to the articles...but in my opinion, had he taken part in recording this song, it most certainly would be mentioned in EVERYTHING published about it.

Of course i love him! "good bye my lover" is such a sad song :(. and in the "youre beautiful" video...if i just saw pictures of him with his clothes on ....i would have never thought he had THAT great body under his clothes!!! he's brilliant.

I can't find anything online that confirms or denies that he has it.  I think if it had been confirmed on TV, I'd be able to find something.  Who knows?  Does it really matter?  He'll still make cool music.

I love him!!  He has recently been touring here in the UK as I went to see him, so he might be doing all of europe, in which case you'll have a bit of a wait!\n\nHe is so good, and did a cover of White stripes Door bell, sounded amazing.
