Steve Clark - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
There's a special place in my heart reserved for Steve Clark.
Left: Chris Clark (Steve’s younger brother)
Right: (The Riffmaster) Steamin’ Steve Clark
The following is an excerpt from “Runway Runaway”
“Awe, you just got lucky,” Barrie Clark (Steve’s father) would say, “What are the chances Stephen?”
As the weekend wore on I could feel my pulse beat faster when he continually discouraged Steve, and his younger brother, Chris. I bit my tongue, especially when I heard him tell Chris that he was a good guitar player, but that he would never have the luck of his brother Steve. “You can’t ‘ave more than one star in the family, it’s just impossible,” warned Barrie. Chris, a very introverted young man, just took it like a punch to the stomach and withdrew back into his own bedroom, where he spent most of his time. I couldn’t help but notice that whenever Barrie came home, Chris would leave the room and disappear, never participating in the drinking or the pub life. He was living out his youth as a hermit.
I asked Steve if we could at least have Chris come and visit us in Paris. I would’ve done anything to help and inspire Chris and his mother, so I opened our home to them hoping they would come and visit. They never did. Steve told me Chris would never leave his mom. He was 20 years old, had never had a job, and still lived at home. He was totally dependent on them.
