Wide Ranging Eric Clapton Interview….

Clapton has always been a true rocker mentality unlike a lot of these other posers.

I expect Bruce Springsteen to pen a song praising the NSA for keeping us safe.

And of course Rolling Stone continues the rage for the machine…

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?

You got any cliffs about Robbie and/or Rand?

I understand that reference.

Clapton addresses the “gotcha journalism” that now largely represents the corporate media. Clapton says in the interview that he is not a “political person” yet his insights on how politics works are very insightful.

Clapton says the corporate media is a part of the “Political Machine.” This discussion arises in a discourse about the politics involved in what bands and musicians are allowed to make it into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.

Clapton mentions to the interviewer that he only speaks to a few select alternative media outlets since most professional journalists are not interested in truth but instead are seeking to promote a particular agenda. In interviews, he said many journalists will ask him a series of loaded questions about complex and multifaceted issues — such as say Clapton’s opposition to vaccine mandates.

Clapton attempts to answer the question in good faith — which necessarily involves having some knowledge of the reasons for his opposition to such measures. Yet rather than consider his answer, the journalist instead goes directly to another loaded and hostile question giving no consideration whatsoever to Clapton’s attempt to address the earlier question.

This is how the conversation turned to RFK Jr. and the mention of Rand Paul. It is a fascinating interview for not just fans of Clapton but anyone interested in the true nature of today’s media culture.

recently saw the bio/documentary called Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars ... very highly recommended for EC fans!
