Stop bragging about your long term memory, turtleneck.

[Pervis Muldoon]

Clapton is overrated and he's a dumbass. Other than that, I have no issues with him.

[Turtleneck]

Stop bragging about your long term memory, turtleneck.

It's better than my short-term memory.

[AvgMSUJoe]

Didn't he have a non-vaccinated concert recently? Like if you were vaxed you couldn't go...

Do you think the vaxxed people showed up and protested like the non-vaxxed do when they can't go to Olive Garden? Is he the Olive Garden of musicians?

[tGreenWay]

Had an affair with the wife of his “friend” George Harrison.
Oh yeah, there’s that who racist outburst at one of his shows years ago.
Pretty sure his action or inaction contributed to his son’s death, but I don’t remember what it was, then of course, he wrote that song about it and made a shit ton of money off his kid’s demise.

There’s more, but my long term memory can’t compete with Turtleneck’s, so I may add stuff later.
Fuck Eric Clapton.

You left out the part about the chick I was banging in high school whose dad was a huge Eric Clapton fan but then she broke up with me so fuck him and fuck Eric Clapton.

I didn't know much about Clapton when I started this thread, but a couple of comments in this thread piqued my interest. What a vile fuck.

He married Pattie Boyd in 1979, but their marriage was marred by his infidelities and domestic violence. In a 1999 interview with The Sunday Times, Clapton admitted to raping and abusing her while they were married and he was a "full-blown" alcoholic.[181]

On 5 August 1976, Clapton provoked an uproar and lingering controversy when he spoke out against increasing immigration during a concert in Birmingham.[187] Visibly intoxicated on stage, Clapton voiced his strong support for the right-wing British politician Enoch Powell.[188][189][190] He addressed the audience as follows:

Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white![191][192]

Edit: I swear, Pervis, I hadn’t seen your post when I wrote the exact same thing.

Knock off Peter Green.

If you’re soliciting for someone to knock off Peter Green, you probably shouldn’t be so public about it, Roc. Also, how much are you offering?

The rape admission is one I was somewhat familiar with but had forgotten. The racist rant is one I remember friends having had discussions about.

I only learned all this a few months ago, when he said some foul shit again. Amazed that I never heard it before. He's seriously fucking trash.

[DWags]

Yikes. I’m learning this in my 60th year. Wow
