I'd be surprised by that, considering some of the friends he keeps and the many black musicians he collaborates with. Disappointing if true.

russycarps Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I cant believe none of you lot have the clapton quotes bookmarked for these sorts of situations!"Eric Clapton, following Enoch Powell's "Rivers Of Blood" speech, at a 1976 gig in Birmingham: "Vote for Enoch Powell... I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white." – thus single-handedly sparking the Rock Against Racism campaign. Clapton - who's made a career of playing blues music - has never detracted the comments, other than to say that he was drunk, and not racist, just anti-immigration."

JoeyT Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 After Lionel's set last year I don't know who could match or top that.IMO Elton could potentially, he certainly has the songs too but not sure he'd embrace it quite like Mr Richie did.

How many protests have we had over the last few festivals? U2, Dalai Lama, Kanye....Presume someone will dig up that tax quote and petition for Adele to be removed.
