I guess Spotify is just admitting that a pretty large number of people remember Clapton the Adult Contemporary Boomer more than they remember Clapton Is God? You still hear “Wonderful Tonight” a lot, but that’s not on Pilgrim.

The Taylor Swift comparison made me LOL.

How much of a cultural hit did he take for being anti-lockdown, really? He’ll be 80 next year.

I don’t know how many great big concerts are going to be remembered by future generations. Woodstock, Live Aid, uh....Woodstock ‘99? Nahhh…

Something I stumbled upon yesterday on Wikipedia:

<b>Critical reception</b>

<i>The song received generally positive reviews from critics. Billboard wrote, “If you’re among the many who adore Aerosmith when it indulges in power balladry à la “Angel”, then you’re in for a real treat. This tune from the imminent soundtrack to “Armageddon” shows the enduring rock troupe happily giving in to the romance of superstar tunesmith Diane Warren’s sweet tune—but with an appropriate dash of guitar-juiced melodrama. Steven Tyler’s signature belting is so intensely over the top that he frequently seems to be shrieking. It’s a high-voltage performance that is matched by a collision of rock-styled instrumentation and grand, faux-classical orchestration. It’s a recipe that will prove irresistible to programmers at top 40 and AC formats.”[11]

Birmingham Evening Mail commented, “Songwriter Diane Warren weaves her magic again with a bombastic power ballad from the ‘Armageddon’ movie soundtrack. It perfectly suits Steven Tyler’s sleazy vocals as the track moves towards its strings-soaked conclusion.”[12] Daily Record called it an “epic ballad which has Steve Tyler impersonating of Bryan Adams”.[13] They also noted it as an “end-of-the-night disco favourite”.[14]

This song was Aerosmith’s biggest hit, debuting at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for four weeks in September, and reaching number one around the world, including Australia, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Austria, Norway, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. It helped introduce Aerosmith to a new generation[15] and remains a slow dance staple.[16]</i>

THAT’S the legacy of that song?!? No mention whatsoever of how many people HATE the damn thing? It isn’t even a very long Wikipedia article!!!
