Notes_Norton Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Bob Marley didn't shoot the deputy. I got that from a guy named Cheap Charlie at the Straw Mart in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, when I was gigging on a cruise ship. And it was Marley who shot the sheriff, but he swears it was in self-defense. - - - - - - Over the years, I have found a few people illegally selling my Band-in-a-Box styles on the Internet. In each case I explained that I am a musician, trying to make ends meet, and I'd appreciate it if they quit selling my styles. In each case, the styles were taken down off the net. They may have reappeared under a different name. Who knows? But I've always thought that a kind, or a kind and businesslike manner, is the first way to approach people you disagree with. And I repeat. If I were Clapton, I would have bought the bootleg for the asking price. I read on the 'net (and the Internet never lies) that the grouchy old man syndrome was often due to a lack of testosterone in the male body, which allows estrogen to take over. I guess that makes them B!tchy. (no offense meant gals - estrogen seems to work for you) Perhaps ol' Eric needs to visit an endocrinologist. 😉 Notes ♫ Edited December 27, 2021 by Notes_Norton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I just deleted a whole bunch of posts. Eric Clapton and his bootleg story has NOTHING to do with COVID. Argue vax somewhere else. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an anti-vaxer, and hates needles, that is why he only snorted heroin in the 70's instead of mainlining it, and yet he himself got a jab in the arm. In my opinion Clapton was always better when he was in a band and not having only his name up on the marquee. Edited December 29, 2021 by Sgt.

Funny!   As someone with a "not ordinary" last name, "Clapton" seems pretty 'normal' to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
