Eric Clapton and Van Morrison’s Anti-Lockdown Track Is Out Now
Van Morrison is still currently working on the world’s worst renaissance in his effort to go from being known as “that old guy who wrote ‘Brown Eyed Girl’” to “that old guy who writes anti-lockdown songs.” As we initially reported last month, Morrison recruited guitar deity Eric Clapton for “Stand and Deliver,” the latest track to support his Save Live Music campaign. It was supposed to release on Dec. 4 (and it actually did thanks to the two of them not knowing how to effectively remove things from the internet) but was officially delayed for two weeks. Well, now it’s out and as bad as pretty much everyone expected. While it’s sure to be the Boomer rallying cry of anti-lockdown, anti-mask, anti-vaccination, and pro-disease people everywhere, Clapton singing lyrics like “Do you want ...

The modded 8-Series is part of a German campaign called “TUNE IT! SAFE!” Essentially, the German police and AC Schnitzer want to encourage drivers of all sorts to customize their rides while being safe and respecting the rules of the road. The campaign has been around since 2005, and for 2020 AC S...
