Eric Clapton refused to murder Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn

In a movie script, that is.

Eric Clapton talked to Rolling Stone about movie scripts that come his way.  One, in particular still stands out for him.  "Movie ideas have come up, biographical docudramas or whatever, that are so bizarre. You would laugh...there was one that came in, and the guy was adamant we should go with it. He wanted to make a movie about the fact that in order to be a virtuoso I had to kill all my idols."  The movie script in question had Clapton murdering Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn.  Clapton refused to sign off on the film in question.
