It was 50 fucking years ago and he was a junkie at the time. People do and say stupid shit. Doesn't make him a lifelong racist any more than you posting this nonsense makes you a social justice warrior.

Well too bad you don't play guitar, or you could be our hero.

It's exhausting to see the same dummies react the same way to the same 150 pictures that get posted here.

So was Bowie really a nazi? Drugs can definitely make you believe some crazy shit which can make you say crazy shit. Ask me how I know

Thank you. Fuck these keyboard ninjas racing in to be the first to scream racist or pedophile every damn time. Next she'll be correcting your grammar.

Imagine being this upset that your racist idol gets called out for being racist and your first thought is to try and shush the dog whistle.

Also this pic is a racist trying to impersonate the better guitar player. Funny thing is that without the caption, most of us would have little idea who he is. Jimi on the other hand?

Any time someone starts a comment with "Imagine..." I don't even read it because I know it's just some self-righteous dickhole preening for likes.

You’re going with the: “I don’t always read. But I always comment!” defense?

It was recently, while the white supremest, rapist, lying POS was pretending to be a president while destroying democracy one step at a time. Clapton was up there shouting at people from stage. He was banned from playing a lot of places. Not sure if that’s improved for him, but he really took a turn during the pandemic. Personally, he was a life long hero to me. But, I will no longer support him nor listen to his music. People like that need to just die.

It was 1976, and Clapton has owned up to it, saying he's ashamed of himself for it, and he was a nasty person back then. So he's acknowledged his wrongs, and tried to make amends for them. But you feel he should just die. No forgiveness - just die. Who's the bigger asshole here?
