I would like to add to Eric Clapton’s music which is featured in movies and media.
Eric Clapton’s song Cocaine was featured in the movie Lord Of War featuring Nicolas Cage. The scene where the song is played in the movie is easily found on YouTube.
Cultural references about a subject should not be included simply because they exist. A Wikipedia article may include a subject's cultural impact by summarizing its coverage in reliable secondary or tertiary sources (e.g., a dictionary or encyclopedia). A source should cover the subject's cultural impact in some depth; it should not be a source that merely mentions the subject's appearance in a movie, song, television show, or other cultural item.
Nice bit of "technically accurate" spin in this article; whereas Alice Ormsby-Gore's article gives "On her return she moved back into Hurtwood Edge. By then Clapton was using heroin quite heavily to mitigate his continuing obsession with George Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd; Alice also became hooked on the drug. In his autobiography Clapton says, "Alice came back to live with me, and she started using too", citing a Times article (http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article2557616.ece)- the clear implication being Ormsby-Gore, who subsequently died as a result of her addiction, was introduced to the drug ("hooked on" it) by Clapton, THIS article simply states "Clapton's partner from the late 1960s to 1974 was Alice Ormsby-Gore, a British aristocrat. They were together for three years and were both addicted to heroin." I guess the "Clapton is God" adherents still exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.120.214 (talk) 01:43, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
