And... who fucking cares. When was the last time he did something interesting? Assholes "taking a stand" for nothing.

I had read somewhere a while back that he'd taken a position that opposed the vaccine and was claiming to have lots of "facts" to support his views. In the end, I just lost a lot of respect for a talented musician. As they say, shut up and play.matedog wrote: ↑21 Jul 2021, 9:24pmThis just in: Clapton still sucks

He also never fully walked back his support for the anti-immigrant Enoch Powell.Sparky wrote: ↑21 Jul 2021, 10:10pmI had read somewhere a while back that he'd taken a position that opposed the vaccine and was claiming to have lots of "facts" to support his views.

Putting it mildly, on both counts. Powell was a full-blown white supremacist and Clapton has dodged the whole thing by blaming drugs and being in a head space at the time. But three or four years later, he was still defending Powell as a typical good person who just cares about his country. Clapton deserves scorn and ostracization.matedog wrote: ↑22 Jul 2021, 10:34amHe also never fully walked back his support for the anti-immigrant Enoch Powell.Sparky wrote: ↑21 Jul 2021, 10:10pmI had read somewhere a while back that he'd taken a position that opposed the vaccine and was claiming to have lots of "facts" to support his views.

It was as recently as 2007, I believe, that he stood by support of Powell.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Jul 2021, 10:42amPutting it mildly, on both counts.

As Kaleb said on twitter, it’s a shame Clapton died tragically right after they recorded the London Howlin’ Wolf sessions.
