Didn’t realize the Clapton/Van M. track had such hot lyrics:
”Do you wanna be a free man/ Or do you wanna be a slave?/ Do you wanna wear these chains/ Until you’re lying in the grave?” Clapton sings.Other lyrics include: “Magna Carta, Bill of Rights/ The constitution, what’s it worth?/ You know they’re gonna grind us down, ah/ Until it really hurts/ Is this a sovereign nation/ Or just a police state?/ You better look out, people/ Before it gets too late.”The song ends with Clapton singing, “Dick Turpin wore a mask too,” referring to the 18th century highwayman who wore a mask to conceal his identity while committing crimes.

Dick Turpin didn't cover his breathing holes, and did one accidental killing and one on purpose. Spider-Man is fully masked, and has only ever accidentally killed: his girlfriend (snapping her neck because as a genius-level scientist, he forgot that physics exist); and his wife (cancered up by filling her with radioactive jizz).

I honestly don't remember doing it before! But okay:
If Clapton had been wearing a mask, he might not have had enough puff to throw his son out that window.

I don't think any of the common images of Turpin in action are in any way based in reality, but I guess it would have to be Ballsmandible Turpin.

Earlier this year, Morrison referred to preventive measures as pseudoscience, and "Stand and Deliver" marks his fourth anti-lockdown track after "Born to Be Free", "As I Walked Out," and "No More Lockdown." This latest, though, is the first to infect another Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.
Van Morrison, whose hits date all the way back to 1964 with the band Them, has written controversial lyrics in the past. His 2005 tune "They Sold Me Out" is one of a series of anti-music industry songs in in repertoire, but repeated references to "shekels" raised some eyebrows at the time. Clapton, during his years of a well-documented drug addiction, went on a notorious racist rant while onstage in 1976, for which he has since apologized.https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/12/eric-clapton-and-van-morrison-release-their-anti-mask-anthem"> https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/12/eric-clapton-and-van-morrison-release-their-anti-mask-anthem

https://variety.com/2021/music/news/berlin-terri-nunn-apologizes-mar-a-lago-new-years-eve-1234878605/
...Terri Nunn of the group Berlin has issued an apology for the controversial gig, saying she didn’t know it would be perceived as taking a political stand, and expressing shock at the lack of COVID protocols at the resort.“I am truly sorry I performed at Mar-a-Lago and would not have done so if I’d known what I learned while I was there,” Nunn wrote.... “My goal in performing was not to support a political party. I see now that that’s not the way it appeared and I am apologetic for that as well.”

Taylor Dayne was there, too(!)
Dayne, for her part, had tweeted and then deleted her own statement earlier. Screenshots show that Dayne wrote, “I’m saddened by all this. I have a 30-year career that (includes) many diverse friendships. And I try to stay non political and non judgmental and not preach. I sing from my heart purely and from Source (sic). I wish for all to be who they need to be… and find their way.”

That Nunn apology reads more sincere, but what size rock would you need to be living under to get hired for a gig at Mar-A-Lago in 2020/1 and not consider the potential political implication before you got there?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/clm1wxp5pert/malawiMalawi's President Lazarus Chakwera has taken personal blame for being among those responsible for the recent rise in Covid-19 cases in the country.
There's been a "collective sense of relaxation in adherence to Covid prevention measures among many Malawians including myself," Mr Chakwera said in a radio address on Sunday.
The president was heavily criticised last week when images and videos circulated showing him and visiting pop musician, Madonna, shaking hands and posing for pictures without wearing masks or observing social distance.

The immune system is incredibly complicated and immunologists’ brains are not complicated enough to deal with it. »7. « There are no Old Wise Men up there at the top of Science. »8. « The Science is being judged by people, the funding is being done by people who don’t understand it – and who does? Fauci?! Fauci doesn’t know enough. If Fauci wants to get on television with somebody who knows a little bit about this stuff and debate why, he could do it, because he has been asked. »9. « It might not be such a bad thing to have sex. »
