It was not that long ago Eric Clapton was in the news for refusing the play in venues that require COVID vaccination.

In July, Clapton announced via theTelegram:


"I wish to say that I will not perform on any stage where there is a discriminated audience present."
"Unless there is provision made for all people to attend, I reserve the right to cancel the show."

Then in August, he released a song called "This Has Got to Stop" which promoted anti-lockdown and anti-public health protocols protests.

Now he's gone back on his word.

Clapton was seen playing a concert Saturday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.




The Smoothie King Center has very clear vaccine requirements of at least one shot and a PCR test for the virus no more than 72 hours before the event. However, Times-Picayune newspaper reported security did not check vaccine cards against their ID so there's no telling if everyone there was actually vaccinated.

There are also mask requirements when not eating or drinking but it was a free for all if anyone was holding a beer.

Most people are convinced he is going through with the concerts for the money.







Clapton himself is fully vaccinated.

The main, if not only reason, he is against the vaccine is he claimed to experience "disastrous" weeklong side effects.

In an interview, Clapton said he feels "ostracized" by his famous friends since making his stance on vaccines:

"I've tried to reach out to fellow musicians."
"I just don't hear from them anymore."
"My phone doesn't ring very often. I don't get that many texts and emails anymore."
"It's quite noticeable … I was ostracized. And I could feel that everywhere."

Well, maybe Van Morrison still talks to him.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
