I’m glad you came away with how awful that asshole was. There are many who consider him some kind of hero despite the fact that it was sheer luck he didn’t massacre 20 children or kill anyone else.

Because it’s important to note how and why shitty people are shitty in discussions about them finding additional ways to be shitty.  Like how any article that mentions Laura Ingraham should also note that she performed a perfect Sieg Heil to Donald Trump’s image at the 2016 RNC.

The irony of a British person disliking people they perceive as foreigners despite hundreds of years of violent colonization of other sovereign lands.

Because Clapton set his musical legacy on fire. His obituary will absolutely mention his anti-vaccine stand. And it is amazing, frankly, that his career survived his rant in 1976. It survived because Slowhand (1977) was universally acclaimed and kept Clapton relevant through the late 80s.

just reminding everyone that clapton is a cunt.  

Sounds about white.  

weird that he hates Jamaicans so much but isn’t above stealing a (much more talented) Jamaican’s song to make one of his biggest hits. Fuck this old racist prick, now and forever. Let me know when the Gofundme is up to pay off this woman’s debt, I’ll happily contribute to it.

Maybe Adam Ant should sue Clapton and van Morrison for using the title “Stand And Deliver”. Give him some of his own medicine...

So you’re okay with bringing up the decades-old racist rant, but his anti-vaxxer views are where you draw the line?

Funny he should be so racist, considering he built his career on the backs of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, BB King and Robert Johnson, who were all black.

Why am I not surprised he collaborated with Van Morrison, who is such a notoriously lazy asshole he almost never finished a whole set the last 30 years.

To enhance the fact that Clapton is a piece of shit in multiple formats.

Probably because it goes hand-in-hand with him being a prick.

Not sure why this commenter had to display his utter idiocy in public.

Well, duh!  It is yet another factor that shows what a complete jackass EC is...

Holy shit, child rapists, murderers and other far more horrible people get far less time than this.  Did this guy fuck up and deserve to go to jail?  Certainly.  Does he deserve 110 years, not even close.  Total failure of the system here so far.

Agreed; it’s weird take to say he was blaming his kids. It really just seems like he was providing an honest, clinical inventory of the factors that weighed into his decisional process in that moment.

To me it isn’t as much that he’s blaming his marriage and kids as he is saying he was depressed and unhappy and using alcohol as a way to avoid making difficult decisions regarding his marriage. He was depressed and self-medicated with alcohol which is not terribly uncommon. I know it’s popular to dog on Affleck but I…

Oh god, I too bounced off Fry Cry sooooo hard. I’ve loved those games in the past, but it was such a cringe-worthy affair, I just couldn’t bring myself to keep playing, even if to justify my purchase. It all felt so stale, from the gameplay, to the weapons, to the horrendous writing. They picked literally all the…
