So another idiot "entertainer" has confirmed that he is a full on douchecanoe. Eric Cpalton, notorious for his drug and alcohol fueled racist diatribes against minorities onstage whilst ripping off the licks of other minorities, has confirmed that he is a full on, lifetime douchecanoe by hanging out with Greg Abbott, dueting with Van Morrison (Another letdown...) and riffing about vaccines and "freedom."
While personally I never held any great regard for a guy whos music I felt overly derivative, uninspired and unoriginal (Most of his "good" stuff was either duets or anothers work...Cocaine, Layla, I shot the Sheriff etc. Asd as the blues world speaks of Robt. Johnson making a deal with the Devil, I felt EC made a deal with someone that for every hit he released he had to release 3-5 works of absolutely dreadful dreck)) when I learned of his personal opinions and political leanings I really let him go. I am not even going to get into how cynical he is by sponsoring a rehab center in the damn Bahamas for silver spooned mf-ers to go to meet fellow junkies and trust fundies. I am sure DJT Jr. will be summering there soon, but I digress.
This begs the question. If you like someones works, but despise their social/political leanings, should you repeal your enjoyment of their art? I would cite Nugent, EC, Toby Keith, a gajillion "actors" and a few moron athletes as prime examples (Although I never liked Nugent or Keith...) Your support gives them their platform and voice...I say yeah. Piss on them.
