Look what's goin' down

There's something happening here...what it is ain't exactly clear

But for what it's worth, Stephen Stills joining Clapton to raise money for anti-vax conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. is just soul-crushing

any of their music anymore. I won't be paying for it. I won't be saying nice things. I hate being betrayed by musicians who should fucking know better. Losers, no matter how much their music is loved. Fuck them and RFKjr.

...sure, I will "cancel" their music. I certainly have that right. Clapton got boring years ago. Haven't heard a thing from Stills. I'll take Graham Nash and Neil Young, thank you.

I can separate the artist from the art if they are exceptional, but I don’t understand this crap at all.

Support RFK Jr. or any right wing politicians.

He showed up to support his close friend Eric Clapton, and like always the cameras were clicking away non-stop.

Please don’t believe for one minute he supports RFK Jr. or believes in him. Nor does he share his friend’s disdain of the Covid vaccine.

Sometimes we have friends whose political beliefs vary wildly from ours.

Stephen Stills has lost a lot of musician friends lately and I’m sure he is grateful for the old friends he still has left. Which is perfectly understandable.

Please give the dude a break.

I read up on what was said, and was trying to make sense of it. We all have friends that have differences. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.
