Eric Clapton can be admired for his music, but not his intelligence. He’s joined the anti-science crowd and become a loud critic of UK measures to slow the transmission of Covid. He’s protesting government restrictions and announced that he will not perform at venues or clubs that require audience members to be vaccinated. Despite defending freedom of choice for his fans, he DID get vaccinated himself.

Here’s a face we haven’t seen in awhile – it’s Pattie Boyd – she was the gorgeous “It Girl” that everybody wanted to BE in the trendy and tumultuous 1960’s. Pattie worked in a hair salon and modeled in London when she was cast as a schoolgirl in the Beatles movie “A Hard Day’s Night” and her life changed forever. She ended up marrying George Harrison and later fell for and married George’s friend Eric Clapton. Eventually that marriage dissolved due to his drinking and cheating, but apparently there are no hard feelings. Pattie, 73, showed up for the London premier of Showtime’s documentary “Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars.”

Eric Clapton is appearing at the Staples Center this week and we’re wondering if he’ll make another appearance at a West Hollywood laundromat that he visited last time he was in LA. Locals doing their Friday laundry at The Washing Machine on 3rd Street at Sweetzer a few months ago were surprised when a Porsche pulled up and rock legend Eric Clapton nonchalantly got out with a bag of dirty clothes. He happily did two loads, and according to witnesses, he returned the following weekend and did it again. Why would a rock superstar do his OWN laundry? Locals have been puzzled ever since. But they’re hoping he’ll be back.
