Eric Clapton Isn't Just Spouting Vaccine Nonsense—He's Bankrolling It

Eric Clapton went from setting the standard for rock guitar to making ‘full-tilt’ racist rants to becoming an outspoken vaccine skeptic. Did he change? Or was he always like this?

[www.rollingstone.com]

It's all good! Eric is doing great these days and so are the Rolling Stones. And don't forget Van Morrison. You can boycott him too. If Eric is so racist, then how come Nathan East is playing bass in his band? Plus has been a long time associate of EC?

It is a known fact that a racist never makes a black man work for him.

If you support Enoch Powell well into the 90s, and he probably still does, you’re pretty racist. This on top of his Birmingham rant.

We have had this conversation on this thread many times, Claptons heroes are black, he has black musicians and friends that have worked with him for decades, clearly he is not a racist.

Enock wasn't a racist either, please research people before you draw ignorant uneducated conclusions, Powell was warning British people about the problems that will occur as a consequence of mass immigration.
You only have to look at inner cities in England today to see he was right.

Happy trolling BowieStone.

A racist never says they are racist. A racist will never call anyone else a racist but will work hard to justify racist behavior. A person's actions and words show it whether or a not a person is racist. If someone is telling us Enoch Powell or David Duke is not a racist their words answer that question.

Having black friends/bandmates/employees does not mean a person is not a racist either. Anyone who believes that can't see racism if it hit them in the face and is just ignorant and needs to research the topic.

Nah, ignorance is someone that notes someone's stance that one doesn't like, then goes and researches that person's comments from 50 years ago and keeps bringing it up over & over as if said yesterday. And furthermore, that one assumes that person can never feel differently for the rest of their existence Except ...if said guilty party would adhere to that one's so-called standards for today's issues, then that one would never have cared about the 50-year-ago issues in the first place.

Not sure i follow all that myself, lol, but it seems pretty ignorant if you ask me!

No one asked you.

Hanging out with Governor Abbott in Austin (Texas' Enoch Powell) must count for something.

Odd, didn't see where anyone asked you.

So guilt by association? Shouldn't they arrest the Beach Boys for murder ... they were known to hang around w/ Charles Manson.
Yeah, you're real bright, haha...

No one asked you....

Not guilt by association but similar views on various controversial issues. You either don't get that or they are your views as well.

Coming from a burnt out bulb I am really bright. What proof do you have that the Beach Boys were complicit with the Manson family or are you just making up more nonsense?

No one asked you ... No one needs to ask me, its a forum for posting.
You are convicting via guilt by association, just read your posts (if you can read).

Beach Boys / Manson ... try reading a book or even a google search (again, if you can read).

Oh I can read, but why would that matter to you. Your reading comprehension is that of a two year old and you just make crap up. Nobody has been convicted of anything, but then throwing out legal terms must make you feel smart. Sorry, not working.

Honestly I don't care much about the Beach Boys or your sponge whether its the 60's or any time since. Thus I have no need to read or google anything about the topic. You are welcome to do it yourself though.

So humor me. Who is guilty by association? Clapton? Abbott? You?

All a distraction from the truth, which you can't handle. You're an ignorant clown. One track mind. Extremist views, your way or the highway. Illogical. etc...

Finally back on topic again

daspyknows, can you please stop turning every aspect of discussion about Claptons music into politics, i thought politics is a No No on iorr.

The interplay between BB King and Clapton is like telepathy, and how Clapton replicates spontaneously like that is impressive, Eric was obviously very close to B&B King.

ROCKMAN

Thanks Rockman, that's interesting because Eric's his own man, can't imagine him doing what he's told by Keith for long, that's why a yes man like Ronnie was necessary.

You have to be kidding, over a predictive typo error, after the crap that poster throws at anyone with a different point of view.

Yeah for sure, but being in a band full time with Keith back then, that's a whole different deal.

Id say it would be a LIFE experience .... but thats just me

It would have been amazing, but those two huge egos hehe, and Mick, too many cooks, would have been great for short time but then burn out, i don't know man, you are right though, one hell of a experience.

They are what Rock n Roll is all about
Tuffness .... and relentless to thee very end ....

Have that on VHS somewhere, Clapton read the Stones pretty well

I am not the only one here. Look in the mirror and talk to your friend Leonid. Both of you keep hurling insults and ;projecting. Look in the mirror. I posted a Rolling Stone article, nothing more and some people went off the rails because they disagreed. Its only political if you don't agree? Isn't that cancel culture.

I have seen and recorded Clapton many times and the only 2 people I know who have recorded him more times also feel the same way and will not pay for tickets if he uses the money to fund anti-vaxxer groups. Support for Crossroads, I am in, support for anti-vaxxer and right wing racists could me out. Do you have an issue with that?

Oh dear, you have the last word on everything, but i agree with some things you say, you definitely have the right to voice your opinion, just as we all do, and I'll die fighting to give you that right.
But can you keep it on the covid thread and give people a chance to talk about Claptons music, tour etc.

That is so not nice , but if Keith says so then who am I to argue or disagree with the Riffmaster .

Mick and Keith and Ronnie regard EC as a brother as they are all close .

“If there’s anybody lazier than me, it’s Eric”

Eric Clapton lazy? He has released umpteen albums, both studio recording and live, in the past 20 years. How many studio albums have the Stones and Keef solo released in the meantime? A Bigger Bang, Blue & Lonesome, Crosseyed Heart — just three. Go figure.

Lazy, in terms of not holding out with his bands.

Eric is a solo artist. Has been for 50 years. Becoming second guitarist in the Stones would have been a step down for him.

But that's what he wanted. Would never have worked, though.

Eric Clapton was so out of it in the mid 70s, whatever conclusion he came to at anything, at that time, was ramblings. When he finally sobered up I'd think he was very glad not to be locked into the Rolling Stones cage.
