A bit of an arse by all account and apparently a bit of a racist also.
Cream stuff was alright, but apart from that pretty bobbins.

Ah, the old 'I'm not racist, I have black friends' defence?Being friends with Jimi Hendrix and BB King was racist was it.
Here's a direct quote from Clapton:
"I think Enoch’s right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out," Clapton said from the stage. "England is for white people, man. We are a white country. ... This is Great Britain, a white country. What is happening to us, for f---’s sake?"

That was a long time ago and I hope he has evolved since then. If not, hes a **** as well as boring. And Phil will never help him settle in, if hes cutting about giving it white power and goose stepping.

Yep, that's what I meant about karma - wouldn't wish that on anyone mind. Can't imagine ever getting over that.There was a good documentary on the bbc about him a few weeks ago, couple of hours of a film. My overall impression was he was a **** of a bloke until his lad was born, the poor boy that fell out of the window and died.

As you say, big Phil won’t stand for any white power off him.That was a long time ago and I hope he has evolved since then. If not, hes a **** as well as boring. And Phil will never help him settle in, if hes cutting about giving it white power and goose stepping.
