Agree. I tried so many forms of "blue coast" "coast of blue" "azure coast" "coast of azure", etc.

Also, not sure why "maggot" doesn't work (for the fly question, obviously).

I've never heard it called the Blue Coast before (or Azur Coast) - no one would know to what you refer if you called it that.

He sat in the audience with the Beatles, The Who and other '60s rock royalty and saw Hendrix at an early gig and seriously considered giving up all together. More like a disciple.

He's a much better guitar player than Lennon, Harrison, or Townshend. Whether Clapton considered giving up has no bearing on his actual skill, which was and is superior to most.

I only knew it as Cote d'Azur, but I knew the French Riviera was somewhere in the general area, so it made sense to guess it.
