Rock Snobs. I'm as guilty as anyone.
Delaney and Bonnie. Frye-booted, syphilitic-looking married couple of early-’70s vintage (last name: Bramlett) who pioneered the “heavy friends” approach to a rock career, recording several albums of amiable but undistinguished blues chooglin’ in the company of such esteemed helpers as Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, George Harrison, and Dave Mason. (Their best-known album is called Delaney & Bonnie & Friends on Tour with Eric Clapton.) Though their time in the spotlight was short-lived, Bonnie Bramlett resurfaced in the late ’70s when she clocked Elvis Costello in a bar fight.
