Yeah I grew up using the word too and I’m friends with gay people who still use it and are okay with people using it to describe someone who’s being annoying. The problem isn’t his use of the word, it’s his disgust with gay people themselves thinking they could literally infect him by touching the same food as him. He could have just called them homosexuals and it would have still been bad. The main thing though is I don’t care generally cause it doesn’t effect the art. Some of your favs probably f***ed 14 year olds. They’re all “bad people” if you wanna go through their closet. Saying you can sense their sins spiritually through their art is weird as hell.
Not sins necessary just lack of depth or warmth or wit or any of the other qualities that made me a fan of basically every other Brit of his generation

That’s significantly more fair. I do like Bell Bottom Blues though. Never dived into any albums and have no interest. I was mostly joking about getting into him.

I know I just wanted to pull up with that quote
@twinkletoez how did I not know this
"Richard also performed in drag during this time, performing under the name "Princess LaVonne". In 1950, Richard joined his first musical band, Buster Brown's Orchestra, where Brown gave him the name Little Richard. Performing in the minstrel show circuit, Richard, in and out of drag, performed for various vaudeville acts"
I met someone who’s grandmother used to have a gay sanctuary back in his home town in the ‘50s
Safe As Milk re-listen was potent. Totally forgot they had an emotional side with something like I’m Glad. Electricity slaps and Autumn’s Child is a great closer. Consistently good album.

Whoa you worked fast. Looking forward to seeing your layouts, it’s always incredible

It actually took way more time than usual haha. I still have a couple things to do but won't take long. Usually I finish counting within 2 days (same as this time) but the layout work took up to 8 or 9 different work sessions vs the usual 3 or 4 at most.
typical fidelio defending this guy
"jamaicans get out except when im making money covering your music"
what a f***ing loser

Im not a huge fan of The Clap so idk bout defending but clearly he sounded like a boofhead during a drunken/high rant that he's apologized for and his peers black and white seem to have accepted
It's just
when people bring up some dumb s*** he said in 1970 as the reason they don't like him instead of critiquing the music imo

Thankfully I just don't like his music 
I agree. If we canceled every musician from the 60s or 70s for doing or saying something racist, most of them would be 'canceled'. Could you imagine an artist today doing the Thin White Duke character?

Yeah nobody actually cares about any of these things. This kind of stuff always just conveniently comes out as a point when they do something political. Like he was skeptical of vaccines or something and then immediately that got drudged up. Same with the Neil Young quote I posted as a counter example. That only got brought up again when Young boycotted Spotify.

If you try to Youtube the rant you get hit with a link from an "independent fact check" at the top saying it's true
Always great to hear when others hate Eric Clapton too
Cocaine is a cool jam

If he was drunk that just means he was expressing how he really feels and usually has to hide. Like I said I already thought he was boring before I found out about this but it definitely compounded hate.

Theres "saying something racist" and then there's going on a giant racist tirade at a British nationalists rally or whatever that was
