BLIND FAITH - BIOGRAPHY - hip online |
 | | Blind Faith was either one of the great successes of the late 1960's, a culmination of the decade's efforts by three legendary musicians--or it was a disaster of monumental proportions, and a symbol of everything that had gone wrong with the business of rock at the close of the decade. |
 | | By then the group was known as Blind Faith, a slyly cynical reference that reflected Clapton's outlook on the new group. |
 | | For all of their musical merits, which were considerable, Blind Faith's short life-span made them virtually a symbol of the tail-end of the 1960's and what those years were about: Too much too soon in that overheated cultural, psychic, and business environment, even for the prodigious talents and personalities involved, resulting in a quick burn-out. |
