Killer Clapton?

Is Eric Clapton really a murderous fiend? That's the plot of a movie script that will never be filmed.

Clapton told Rolling Stone that he once was approached by a man who had written a script that came up with an explanation of how he acquired his guitar skills.

"He wanted to make a movie about the fact that in order to be a virtuoso, I had to kill all my idols," Clapton said. "So I murdered Stevie Ray (Vaughan) and Jimi (Hendrix) in order to become this guitar hero. He thought it was a great idea."

In the meantime, "The Runaways," the movie about the all-girl jail-bait rock band of the '70s, opens tomorrow. Deadheads are still waiting for the movie that's supposed to be made about Jerry Garcia's pre-Dead days.
