Is this just Clapton accidentally having the correct opinion by way of being anti-semitic?

genuinely shocked that eric "slurhand" clapton would have anything positive to say about anyone swarthier than an irishman

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he's dating a woman ~50 years younger than him who is pro-Palestine.

I guess you can only be so racist?

Clapton is a CIA plant meant to make the pro Palestine movement look bad??

WTF I never thought this guy could have a good opinion. I'm still pissed that my dad put him on 24/7. Without wanting to, I could probably sing a bunch of his fucking songs.

I have such sadness for people who had to suffer through horrible music from their parents. They don't know what kind of damage they are doing. I really think my life has been better because of the good fortune of hearing good music growing up.
