    They say never meet your heroes. The only problem is that all my heroes have jumped on the internet and are trying to meet me

      Yup. Enjoy his music, but he’s turned into a total cunt in recent years.

      Maybe society will realize one day that celebrity hero worship is a bad thing.

          What’s the difference between Conor Clapton and a bag of cocaine?

          Eric Clapton would never let a bag of cocaine fall out a window.

          sorry

          Has he? I have heard some stories about his political opinions over the last couple of years, but I honestly never heard too many other negative stories about the guy. Then again, I honestly don’t care to dig into his past. I’m not one of those who follow artists I like. There are tons of bands I love their music and I couldn’t tell you what they even look like.

            Well, back in the '70s he stole one of the Beatles wives (George Harrison, I think), stole songs from blues artists he claimed to revere, went on a public rant about how England was a white country (and should stay that way). So yeah, he’s been a giant douche for decades.

              “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”

              Genuine piece of shit

            He’s literally why Rock against Racism formed. Because he went on a racist tirade in the 70s.

              But he can’t be racist, he covered “I shot the Sheriff”?!

              (Michael Franti mentioned it back in the 90s)

              They’re fuckin’ with Ice T but they don’t even care if
              Eric Clapton’s singin’ I Shot the Sheriff!
