It was a favor among friends. Really, the Beatles had
asked Eric Clapton to play on while my guitar gently
weeps on the White album. So when Cream put their
farewell album together, Eric Clapton reached out to George Harrison
and asked him to play on one of the cuts.
And while they're in the studio, George Harrison goes over
to the music and he wrote on the top of
(03:47):
the score bridge, and his handwriting was so bad that
Clapton looked at it and said, oh, badge, a great
name for a song, and a song was born. And

Gang Rides Again in Funk forty nine, Joe Walsh on
the Guys and Don Clark and Don's Baseman with the
songs where the title never shows up in the lyrics,
and Jeff Lynn and Roy Wood are in the studio
and they're working on this cut that's named after a prisoner,
but they didn't want to use the prisoner's name. They
wanted to use his number, one zero five to three.
(12:35):
And the engineer looks at him and says, why don't
you add eight to the number? It don't sound betta,
And the one zero five three eight overture was born.
