    Roasting Clapton for this will always be funny af. One of the only people who has been such a giant asshole that making fun of him for his child's death is on the table

      What's the difference between a baby and a bag of cocaine.

      Clapton would never let a bag of cocaine fall off a balcony.

      I remember reading an article about how someone else wrote most of his tribute song 'Tears in Heaven'. The writer was shocked Eric didn't want to write most of it himself.

        I mean I feel like getting a ghostwriter is better than his usual schtick of stealing black musician's work.

      Clapton is a fascist in case anyone didn't know. He went on an unhinged rant praising racist POS Enoch Powell at one of his shows in the 70s. I won't post it here because I don't feel like redacting the many slurs, but you can find it on NATOpedia.

          Eric Clapton is one of the biggest pieces of shit in the rock world. That song he wrote about his kid that he was slightly responsible for killing? Ghostwritten.

          If you like Clapton, just find a random black person through the times, because Clapton probably stole from them

              He is such a giant piece of shit that he can be attributed to multiple anti-fascist music movements in the 60's and 70's. Still a legend musicially (my name is literally Leyla) so I have some respect for his playing, but he stole so much of his music.
