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

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Clapton is a supreme piece of shit.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

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.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
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.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
As Kaleb said on twitter, it’s a shame Clapton died tragically right after they recorded the London Howlin’ Wolf sessions.
