Clapton & Morrison

It’s difficult to like/love musicians who harm themselves with drugs & alcohol. Of course, as far as classic rock (and other genres) go, this self-harm generally occurred in the past. But now Eric Clapton & Van Morrison are revealing themselves to be ignorant, walking commercials for the anti-vax movement, as well as Trumpism (even though they’re not American). I can’t listen to their music, which is sad because I love Cream. But recently I’ve been able to watch Mel Gibson movies. I suppose art transcends the artists being losers & racists. I don’t know. It’s confusing. Eric Clapton Isn’t Just Spouting Vaccine Nonsense--He’s Bankrolling It Eric Clapton went from setting the standard for rock guitar to making ‘full-tilt’ racist rants to becoming an outspoken vaccine skeptic. Did he change? Or was he always like this?
