I honestly think the poll attached to this thread should be "Did you know Eric Clapton was still touring? Yes/No"

Just another celeb well past his prime trying to keep his name in the press.

90% of ALL adult Britons have now been jabbed, we are NOT dying in the streets from the vaccine - we ARE however now living back to normal lives and despite this there is now a Covid death rate coming along in handfuls (rather than the 1250 people dying EVERY day before the vaccine).

Says it all really.

More people are dying from VAX reactions, than the virus itself.

Here's another hot take from Eric Clapton:

Quote:
Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands… So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country … I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white …

In other words, he's just another right-wing goon.

He’s worth a quarter Billion. He could never have another show and he’d be perfectly fine financially.

There was another. Some sports coach that quit rather than get vaccinated.
I read that yesterday or the day before.

Yup he sure does. Said this to a crowd in 1976 and from what I've gathered, hasn't given what feels like a genuine apology.

Not just leave the hall, leave our country. I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the w*gs out. Get the c**ns out. Keep Britain white.

I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. ****ing w*gs, man. ****ing Saudis taking over London. Bastard w*gs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black w*gs and c**ns and Arabs and ****ing Jamaicans don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black w*gs and c**ns living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for ****'s sake? Throw the w*gs out! Keep Britain white!"

-Eric Clapton

I like his music, hell sunshine of your love is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar - but JFC this just makes it hard to enjoy. I'm not sure he's grown much.
