Eric Clapton, forsooth, scientifically proven shite of top grade putrescence.
Yeah, I like it. Problem solved.

I allways appreciate it when people can explain 'WHY' they like or dislike a particular thing or not. Particularly when it's a little more expansive than ''That Sucks" or "It's Feckin' Awesome Dude!"
But would i trade my Clapton collection for the collected works of KraftWerk?
Fuck That!
You gotta laugh. Good old Miles Davis, who's music I love so dearly, was a misogynistic racist of the most offensive order- but nobody says 'Boo'!
Seems moral standards aren't always equal in music world. PC? You couldn't make it up.

What if you think sliced bread is overrated though? What then? WHAT THEN?!

Just on a bit more serious a note, i've witnessed much bigotry in my life. And Racism on ocassion. To me there is a difference between those two words. One is a mind-set, and ocassional lapse of sense. Generally a product of up-bringing and environment.
Racism, on the other hand, is far more affronting. To me, that is the actual acting out upon someone for barbaric reasons.
One, is something i can't change and have to live with.
The other is something i won't brook in my presence.
Clapton is FAR from the latter, not so sure about Davis. I don't know much about the guy.
