What happened to the legendary obedience of rock musicians and their compliance with the party line? Aren't they supposed to speak in one voice with the progressive establishment, saying only what has been pre-approved by the High Commissar of the Rock Music Directorate?

Below is a most equal article worthy of the editors of Pravda, who have now apparently moved to the Rolling Stone Magazine. The only thing missing is the denouncement of the so-called "musician" Clapton as a propagandist of the bourgeois and decadent opiate for the masses known as "rock and/or roll," which poisons the minds of the toiling workers and peasants, distracting them from the proletarian revolution.

ROLLING STONE: Eric Clapton Isn't Just Spouting Vaccine Nonsense—He's Bankrolling It

(I)n recent months Clapton has himself become a leading vaccine skeptic, part of a community that Dr. Anthony Fauci has said is “part of the problem — because you're allowing yourself to be a vehicle for the virus to be spreading to someone else.” And while never explicitly condemning the lockdown, he's said “live music might never recover” and joined Van Morrison for three songs that amount to lockdown protest anthems. By way of a friend's social media account, he's also detailed what he called his “disastrous” experience after receiving two AstraZeneca shots (“propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone,” he wrote).

Clapton recently embarked on a U.S. tour booked in red states despite surging transmission numbers and death rates — and at venues that largely don't require proof of vaccination. In the process, this Sixties icon, who embraced the sex, drugs, and rock & roll lifestyle as much as anyone in his generation, has drawn praise from conservative pundits. In Austin, he posed for backstage photos with Texas' anti-vax-mandate Gov. Greg Abbott, known for his attacks on abortion and voting rights. . . .

In what may be among the final acts of his career, Clapton risked his reputation and part of his devoted fan base when he doubled down on his views.

It is time, comrades, to compile a list of all the politically illiterate rock musicians for the distribution among the various party organs of our vast American Motherland. Take example of our Soviet comrades who have been successfully combating such musical noncompliance in the glory days of the USSR.

His days are numbered as are all such vermin.

At this very moment a new presidential executive order is being drafted for Comrade President Biden's signature outlawing all musical sabotage of the revolution. Soon the only music allowed will be the good wholesome socialist music of everyone's favorite: Comrade Otis and his Soviet Socialist Marching Harmonica Band.

Decadent Western Rock music is already dying a slow and painful-to-listen-to death from capitalist greed every time one its songs is repurposed in TV and radio advertisements for pharmaceutical products with ridiculous names like Soosootica, Valkerian, Everflo or Naustriva.

Just wait until Clapton sells the rights to his song, Cocaine, for use in a hair-restoration commercial:

Want new hairs to sprout? You've got to break it out:
Rogaine
If you wanna grow hair, forget about Nair:
Rogaine


Just apply, just apply, just apply
Rogaine


If you got bald spots, can't tie your hair in knots:
Rogaine.
When your hair is gone, you should slap some on:
Rogaine


Just apply, just apply, just apply
Rogaine


If your hairs are gone but you want new ones to spawn:
Rogaine
Don't forget this fact, you can get it all back with
Rogaine


Just apply, just apply, just apply
[highlight=#NaN0000]Rogaine[/highlight]

That's a good karaomercial, Colonel O.

In case some comrades of Western Decadence may not recognize the name, "Eric Clapton", just REmemory he's the same musician Joclyn Elders referred to as Eric Clapner.


Either way, Eric Clapton talking about how the jab nearly put an end to his uppity, anti-establishment thoughtcriminal guitar-playing life passion, is too personal and evocative for today's Communism.

The Private Life® is dead, comrades.

Eric Clapton was great in the '60's. I think I liked him best before even Cream. Here he is with John Mayall and the Blues Breakers on All Your Loving. "Eric Clapton is god." was begun with this. Going on into the '70's, not so much.

To see Clapner re-emerge at full strength, fast forward to 2003's Concert for George!

It wouldn't have gone well.

I had no idea that The B52s "Rock Lobster" was a punk/violent song.

Maybe "Love Shack" could be interpreted that way except that The Party™ approves of banging on doors.

It's not, and anyone who says it is should get their tin roof rusted.
