E36 Something about Layla is Like a Box of Chocolates

Get ready for an exhilarating journey through the music history as we uncover the star-studded wedding reception of Eric Clapton and Pattie Boyd. Promise you’ll learn not just about the glitz and glamour of that eventful day in May 1979, but also about the intricate love triangle between Clapton, Boyd, and George Harrison that birthed legendary songs like "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight." Imagine being a fly on the wall at Clapton's English estate, surrounded by icons such as Mick Jagger, Elton John, David Bowie, and three former Beatles. We’ll take you on a behind-the-scenes tour of this epic event, and share the fascinating story of how Harrison's visit to Clapton’s garden inspired "Here Comes the Sun."

As we journey further, we’ll reminisce about the unforgettable soundtrack of Forrest Gump, filled with timeless tracks from Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and The Supremes. Ever wondered if it deserved to be 'Best Picture'? We’ve got you covered. 

We’ll also explore the magic of the album 'The Kids are Alright' by The Who. A greatest hits package made up of live performances that includes Keith Moon's last performance with the Band before his death. Join us for a reflective, educational, and musically rich episode that promises to keep the music playing!
