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.
I think the author of this is making a pretty big assumption that RFK senior is in heaven, let alone throwing up.
Edward Kennedy throwing up in Heaven? How can a guy who always thought he was right about everything repent of anything?
Sorry, meant to say Ted Kennedy, my bad.
Clapton had severe reactions to both does and almost felt as if he would never play again , so there is where his opinion and expense is coming from. These jackasses cannot see the truth nor do they want to. Eric will still be Number One with me.
Such intolerance to different opinions. They are the crackpots and extremists. Not you Mr Clapton.
And what does Robert, Juniors Parkinson have to do with the basic argument, Nothing.
Clapton got the vax and complained he couldn’t hold a guitar. Then for some damn reason he got the booster and had more issues with his hands. So I trust Clapton on his stance vs. some jerkoff like Roger Fried-man who no one knows what his vax status is.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who fought for decades for universal health insurance, must be throwing up in heaven.
Assuming God has seriously lowered his standards for a super rich, corrupt, multiple philanderer, liar & murderer was actually let in. Otherwise I think he is too busy having Satan showiving a pineapple up his ass.
Yup
He was on their side before he got injured by it.
Its always amazing when the anti-God crowd starts invoking God and biblical phrases...
All I see is their immense hypocrisy.
I was just getting at the author being a dummy for not knowing the person's correct name he was criticizing.
That is some tasty playing by all.
Here’s my favorite recent Bramhall:

Dark and intense...
They made great music. What is really interesting is that the messages in their songs - Teach your children young - were very libertarian. And actually conservative. They don't see the Facism of the democRat party
How evil Eric is.
I can only assume that he’s fired any VAXXED employees, won’t let any VAXXED into his concerts and insists that anyone around him not wear a mask.
Vaxcines have joined abortions as a sacrament to the left.
Is Clapton actually “anti-vaccine” or is he “pro-liberty”? Usually the critics conflate the two positions.
They USED to like him.
See what happens to anyone who strays off the plantation?
This “vax” is like a cult, it’s their *religion*.
Look at all of the skeert sheeple who WILLINGLY lined up for it, and, will do so for their “boooooster”, and, STILL wear freaking masks, EVERYWHERE.
FRAUDci & Co fooled ‘em, sadly.
