Eric Clapton 1991 re Enoch Powell. ”I‘d say the same thing again.” (Repost)

from The Joe Jackson Interviews · host Joe Jackson Productions

When I was a kid, I was a fan of Clapton, particularly Bluesbreakers. I photographed him in concert in 1977. I loved a few of his songs. But when I interviewed him in 1991 I didn't know the full extent of racist comments he once made. I am re-posting this, and stepping out of any kind of Clapton appreciation society, because I am so pissed off that multi-millionaire Eric, sued a woman who sold on eBay a bootleg CD her late husband bought of Clapton. He won the case. But he has lost me, and many former fans, completely this time, I suspect. As someone said his music is a bootleg of black blues.
