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?

Yeah, rock’s most controversial figure isn’t he?
Soon bv will warn us with OP “Eric Clapton related posts will be deleted - posting access to be deleted as well”
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 .Quote

“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.

I know. I paraphrased his comment, sort of.
There’s more than one way being “lazy”

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.
