I didn't realise he was (and possibly still is) such a massive racist

When was this?

The man who made his fortune from stealing black music.

I think the rumours have always been that he is so far up his own arse it’s frightening.

That first quote was from one of his concerts in the 70s

This is from an interview in 78

The first one was at a concert in 1976. In Birmingham of all places.

Wasn't Clapton's first big hit a Bob Marley cover???

I don't care what people are labelled as... if they're a cnut they're a cnut.

When I saw this I thought it was going to be an Eric Clapton dies thread, so was quite relieved when it wasn't until I read it. Very disappointed.

I'm not going to defend or excuse, however "older & wiser" now perhaps.? He claims elsewhere to be ashamed of himself in that period.

"I was a young working class village lad, I didn't know"
"Not now, no. That was the old Eric, he went along with the drinking"
