Unfortunately I have this problem with Ted Nugent. Great guitar playing and music, but I wish I could blank out the rest of it. Not an easy thing to do.

Thank you for the memories of that show RisingStone!
Quite a bit that the above article does not cover well. The article is full of inaccuracies in my opinion.
* The source of the opening solo on Layla.
* The actual meeting between Clapton and Duane Allman. I will go with Greg Allman's story/version of the meeting.
* The Rita Coolidge stuff. This grows exponentially, and in my opinion, more and out of context every time it is brought up. If Rita Coolidge has a beef it is with Jim Gordon.

do we really need to like an artist as person? Isn't it enough to like what he or she does?

When Kid Rock opened for the Stones in Columbus, Ohio in 2015, this happened:
'Rock, 44, also acknowledged the evening's headliners in an expletive-laden "Forty," a tongue-in-cheek song about struggling with the aging process, singing, "But Bruce Springsteen is … 63/ And the Stones are almost dead!"'
[amp.columbusalive.com]
I found that not exactly in good taste, to badmouth the headliner band coming on after you. OTOH, I wasn't paying much attention to them until that point.

Rita Coolidge has spoken about it on her recent tours. I know someone that talked with her after a show and it came up. She got ripped off.
Of course she did - that's Clapton's way.
Exactly , as for me it's all about there art or in this case there music . Life is hard enough and music is a respite to get away for a bit and lose yourself for a spell .Quote

I am in total agreement on Ted Nugent . As his music doesn't get played at home and I am not spending to go see him live or buying any CD's or albums , for me it's out of sight , out of mind and good for that ! I will not lie and say I did not like his music as his early music is pretty good .Quote

Also to lay this solely on EC is wrong . As there is the recording company , the attorneys, the business managers and the list goes on and on . One has to know what the publishing rights are and the ownership of said rights are and that's where the attorneys come in as this is complicated just to say the EC ripped off Rita Coolidge as the entire recording industry is enmeshed in this practice and this is complex .
So very true 1000% and maybe even Ron Wood as well ! Who does have one co credit with the twins on Dance Pt1 . Mick Taylor is credited as a co writer on Ventilator Blues off of Exile . So they both have a co credit . Very generous of the Twins I must say !Quote

there's at least one other aspect – in those days nobody could expect that you could get that rich by contribution to songs (and owning copyrights). So a lot of people didn't claim to be mentioned als co-writers (or even fight for being legally recognized) because they somehow contributed to songs (ask Mick Taylor about that)

Ronnie co-wrote quite a few songs, fought for his credits and was credited.

So Ronnie had to fight his way through the “Twins’ way” to get his name credited, didn’t he?

Yep, hence "fought for his credits"
