One-time "guitar god" Eric Clapton

One time? No. Clapton is still an absolute master.

53 years ago he supposedly hurled a racial insult at Jimi Hendrix?

Clapton was in absolute awe of Hendrix. He saw him performing in London and was totally blown away (as was every other British guitar legend). Did he hurl a racial insult at him? I dunno. By today's standards or by the standards of the late 1960s?

Clapton did have a serious problem with alcohol and drugs (who didn't) and apparently made some sort of pro-Nazi comment while inebriated at some point in the 1970s, that he's since apologized profusely over.

I have to say, the best recent thing I’ve heard on the topic that hit thr mail on thr head is Chappelle’s newest Netflix special.

If you get a chance, there’s a bit on YouTube. It’s his “daphne” bit and I saw the link for it here on FR.

I never laughed while crying tears of sorrow before. It’s genius and it connects to who the actual bad guys are.

Cancellation is not about an inconvenience. It’s an assault. A true and evil assault that should be dealt with accordingly.
