Can I make a last ditch appeal for everyone to change their vote to Clapton?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Mine was Clapton from the get go. Hoyston.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I may need to take a flight back to Hoystonia.

Have you forgotten about all of Bono's "humanitarian" work with dictators and the IMF?

I haven't voted yet (I can still be bought!) but it's hard to weigh Clapton's transgressions as worse when Bono actively supports and promotes systemically racist and oppressive systems that have probably resulted in the suffering and deaths of a lot of marginalized ethnic groups around the world. Clapton is a massive douchebag, but as far as I know the most harm he's actually done to others is put out limp solo albums.

As some kind of actual global political figure, Bono is accountable for much, more more than Clapton.

Me too, sorry. I don't THINK Clapton actually pushed his son out the window. Bono is probably responsible for the deaths of thousands of sub-Saharan African children. So, Bono it is.
