What a fascinating thesis. Don't think...Seth, <br /><br />What a fascinating thesis. Don't think correlation implies causality..but yeah...there are a lot of "Pauls" who were better in their respective bands. <br /><br />I wonder if the true causality has something to do about being in your 20s. For some reason it seems really creative people make their mark sometime in their 20s...and then spend a lifetime trying to equal their first achievements. <br /><br />Along the lines of your "Power of Paul" post...what about one of your favorite guitarists (from your prior post), Eric Clapton? Acknowledged as doing stellar work in the Yardbirds he attained super stardom with Cream. Do you think his subsequent solo career matched his achievements with Cream? <br /><br />KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
