The Eric Clapton we loved, whose new album is as good as anything he’s ever done, is dead to us, basically.
Clapton has doubled down on his anti-vaccine madness and thrown in with Robert K. Kennedy, Jr. Kennedy, a misery to his family– they’ve all criticized him– maintains a loud anti-vaccine campaign himself.
Despite suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, Kennedy is anti-public health. His dead uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who fought for decades for universal health insurance, must be throwing up in heaven.
Clapton has now allowed himself to be interviewed by Kennedy and featured on his website. Clapton tells Kennedy that criticism of what he’s doing is falling on deaf ears:
“In fact, I felt more support as a result of this than I ever did before about anything — and I was always quite private about my beliefs and concerns, but the minute I got public with this and just told the truth — my truth, I suppose you could say — I could see really clearly what was real, genuine enthusiasm and relief and comfort from people that were feeling the same way.”
Luckily, Clapton’s family does not agree with his position, which has included recording anti-vax, anti-lockdown music with Van Morrison, declaring that he won’t play venues with vaccine mandates, and receiving a very negative report from Rolling Stone, which used to idolize him.
He tells Kennedy, who I’m convinced has an undiagnosed brain tumor: “I’ve got teenage girls and an older girl who’s in her thirties, and they’ve all had to kind of give me leeway because I haven’t been able to convince any of them. I think my wife is now seeing it the same way as me, but most of them, they’ve always thought I’m a crackpot anyway, because I do things that are extremely unusual on any kind of level.”
So, it’s over. I loved Clapton’s music. “Layla” is very special to me. But people crack as they get older. Eric Clapton had a hideous drug problem. Who knows how this has affected him? But what he’s doing now is beyond the pale. As for Kennedy, please, don’t get me started.
My whole life I’ve appreciated the music of people I disagree with politically. What’s the big deal???
I didn't know they had booze in Heaven...
Because he is being perpetually kicked in the nuts by Mary Jo Kopechne.
What a wonderful world ‘twould be if all leftist “entertainers” would be dead to us. As in really dead.
Shove it, leftists. Deep, repeatedly, and with great discomfort.
Ed, Ted whatever his name Kennedy may have snuck in to heaven some how, only God knows for sure.
Hopefully Eric Clapton’s eyes are now fully opened to the Left’s tactics and how they operate. More celebrities need a reawakening like this.
Bwhahahaha! We’ll keep him. 💉🐂💨💩 😂🙌🎸
What an effing tool!!!!
Wojer. I have noticed. 'Pod.
I would rather hang with Eric Clapton than Joseph Crapaton
How can he be an anti-vaxxer when the shots aren’t vaccines?
I think they are in two different places.
Don’t care abt that.
Who is “us”?
I don’t believe Clapton has ever said he’s antivax, just against mandates. The saddest part is that his 3 daughters, who should be the most understanding and can see how the Vax hurt him, stand in opposition. I hope they’re out of his will.
Heaven?
I thought Clapton is anti-vax because he was FUBAR after the jab.
I like Clapton even more.
“...Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who fought for decades for universal health insurance, must be throwing up in heaven.”
He’s spinning on a rotisserie in HELL.
Remember her brilliant dissertation about the need for safer guns and safer bullets? LOL!
They lost me on that line.
Yeah I'm pretty sure he's getting "sandwiched" by demons in hell.
