He is vaccinated. He had a bad reaction to it, said at the time that he wasn't sure he'd ever be able to play a guitar again. That made him think it's riskier than we're being told, and he's said so.

If that 'ruins his legacy' than critical thinking is truly dead.

Me too. I wasn’t a huge fan, though I did like some of his music.

But his conduct in this makes me have a good deal of respect for him, where before...that was a piece of my awareness that wasn’t really there.

I think he's faring quite well despite the gaslighting.

And as far as I'm concerned he's in the high Top 10 right now.

Note: Rankings are not equivalent due to variations in respondents.

Give no quarter to those who resist the takeover of the nation. Destroy them by digging up as much dirt as possible, even if it’s totally unrelated to the covid vaccination mandate issue.

I am pretty sure Clapton’s legacy is very safe.

Steaming pantload.

These people are incapable of embarrassment. Witness my BIL and his even dumber wife.

We are doomed. Severely outnumbered by morons.

NBC buried its journalistic career and credibility back in 1969 when it blew up Ford Pinto gas tanks with M-80s for a fake news report.

There are songs of his I do like, and I am sure he is a nice guy, I mainly don’t care for his voice, it’s just too bland, especially for blues songs.

the song ‘see you in Heaven’ is a tear jerker though and I hope gave him some healing regarding the tragedy of his son’s death v

Eric dutifully took the vax and LOST THE USE OF HIS HANDS, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

I don’t knowif he has gotten back his chops, but the Vax ruined his life.

Who wouldn’t be upset about that?

The old dude proved he was much more of a rock 'n' roll rebel than any of the posers who traded their earrings for nose rings to be led around like farm animals.

Clapton was always pretty mellow. Some are just learning that he was mellow because he could be. He didn't need to prove anything to anyone.
