Plain English people. It would be more like "Eric Clapton, a leading musician in the rock and roll genre, ..." Under your theory, it would be "Eric Clapton, widely regarded as God, ..." That has a good ring to it.

A description seems unnecessary and dorky to me, but I may be a bit skewed. Plus I'm more interested in the first two questions.

Quoting Extreme songs today? I had you pegged for a "More Than Words" person, but their later work was pretty good as well.

1. Is the proper term "internet" or "Internet"?
2. Is the proper term "web site" or "website"?
3. Is Eric Clapton well known enough to not need describing?

Thanks in advance.
1. Depends on whether you're talking about the Internet, or using it as an adjective. Like internet website.
2. See 1.
3. Say Eric Clapton, guitar player, occassionally sings.

And just for future reference, it's e-mail not email.

... He arose to some notoriety in the early 90s by first allowing his child to fall out of a window, and then shamelessly exploiting the death to sell records.

Internet
website

Although, really, just make it consistent and no one will notice.

AON

WOLFSVILLE, Md. - A rural Maryland cattle rancher Eric Fleming is offering a reward in hopes of finding who took his entire supply of bull semen, valued at $75,000.

1. Internet (or "World Wide Web").

2. website.

These are also unnecessary and dorky, I would think.

Porn for your commute

LONDON - It may not be quite what Steve Jobs had in mind, but an online search engine called Guba is set to offer vast amounts of pornography and other video files, specifically tailored for Apple's new iPods.

Guba is a subscription-only search engine that culls video files from the Usenet newsgroups, a huge repository of online content — much of it adult, pirated, or both.
