I got bogged down in some Illuminati conspiracy web content earlier today.  I spent a significant amount of time reading about Debra Hunter Pitts, aka Layla Cries, who (according to the literature) was the girlfriend of both Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana back in the day, and seems to have love children by both of them.

The story goes that she was taken as a child and trafficked into the covert world of the rich and powerful, due to her psychic abilities.  [Note to self – do NOT publish article about my own psychic abilities]  After years of horrible slavery and forced prostitution, she was finally rescued, and planned to make it her mission to bring down the power structure. Somehow she met Clapton and Santana (this almost sounds like a TV Funhouse episode so far) and both wanted to marry her, but she didn’t want to marry either.  However, she did want to have their children.

Clapton supposedly paid to put her album out in 1971 (Layla Cries – Dressed in Love). In addition, despite what everyone knows about Pattie Boyd being first George Harrison’s wife and then Eric Clapton’s, and being the true inspiration of the song Layla, according to the literature (and an interview with Debra) not only was she the inspiration, she actually wrote the song and gave it to Clapton, originally titled Baby.

I have thus far been unable to confirm the existence of the Layla Cries album. It sounds like a real collector’s item.

Until such a time as I can get my hands on a copy (even a digital copy), this will have to do: The Beatles performing the Dead Kennedys’ California Uber Alles.
