Sources also emphasized that he treats caterers of all races equally well.
And quelle surprise to reach the end of the article and learn he's a vaccine sceptic and anti lockdown warrior (like Van Morrison).
That's come up here a few times. Someone posted this brilliant bit from Jello Biafra:

Damn those Hungarians! Just last week they stole my Clapton bootleg collection. I'll probably get sued now for cruelty.

One thing that consistently warms my heart is how much the people here loathe Clapton for the human garbage he is.
One small caveat I would add personally is that I never liked his music even before I ever knew about the Enoch Powell connection so feel relieved that's an issue I don't have to grapple with. Van Morrison on the other hand, I simply can't defend him anymore from charges of being an awful human being, albeit nowhere near the Clapton level I don't think, but that can't make me love his music any less, as much as I might wish to.
Yeah, luckily I don’t have to make a choice between music and the person because Clapton’s music is gawdawful dull. In some cases, like Lydon, I have to ignore what he’s become (and maybe what he was all along) because I still value the Pistols and PiL so much. Same for Lennon and the Beatles. We’ve all got that because most artists have said and done ugly things to one degree or another, so we’re drawing all kinds of arbitrary lines of conduct and belief with bands.
I agree, and so did my first guitar teacher, who called his music pedestrian.

I'm still having The Yardbirds and some Cream. But none of this makes him any less than a complete bastard!

He's done the research and cracked the sinister code!
Clapton then talked about the theory of mass formation hypnosis and his belief that people were being hypnotised into getting vaccinated through messages promoted on YouTube and in the media.

“I thought, ‘What’s going on here?’ I didn’t get the memo. Whatever the memo was, it hadn’t reached me. Then I started to realise there was really a memo, and a guy, [clinical psychology professor] Mattias Desmet, talked about it. And it’s great – the theory of mass formation hypnosis,” he explained. “And I could see it then – once I kind of started to look for it, I saw it everywhere.

“Then I remembered seeing little things on YouTube which were like subliminal advertising; it had been going on for a long time – that thing about ‘you will own nothing and you will be happy.’ And I thought, ‘What’s that mean?’ And bit by bit, I put a rough kind of jigsaw puzzle together. And that made me even more resolute. And so I went from that to looking at the news stuff that was coming out in England and the UK, we have BBC, and it used to be an impartial commentary on world affairs and state affairs. And suddenly it was completely one-way traffic about following orders and obedience.

He continued: “And I felt really motivated, musically. It instigated something which really was laying dormant. I was just playing live gigs up until the lockdown without really being socially involved in any way. Then these guys that were in power really started to piss me… and everybody… I have a tool, I have a calling, and I can make use of that. So I set about it and started writing.”

"once I kind of started to look for it, I saw it everywhere.'

There's a word for that. It's called psychosis.

Did you all know that Clapton has a song called "Pretty Little Schoolgirl?" I learned this today while playing SongPop. And now you have to know.

Is it about molesting her or making money off her if she dies in his care?
