Make It Make Sense: Fully Vaccinated “Blues Singer” Eric Clapton Threatens To Cancel Shows If Venues Require Vaccinations
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gie Knaeps / Getty This pandemic will never end with thinking like this. Eric Clapton is singing the blues when it comes to vaccinations against COVID-19. The “blues singer” who is also fully vaccinated is BIG MAD, claiming he has “the right” to cancel shows at venues that will require people to be vaccinated to attend. His stance puts his hypocritical and quite frankly boneheaded anti-vax sentiments on full display. Deadline reports Clapton’s statement came after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced “that vaccine passes will be required to enter nightclubs and other venues,” a very logical move as the country is still battling rising COVID-19 cases due to the more highly contagious delta variant. Clapton’s next show is damn near a year away, and he ...

Samsung Is Ahead of The Curve In The Foldable Market Thanks To The Galaxy Z Fold2 & Galaxy Z Flip
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Samsung took a very bold step when it went all-in on the foldable phone, dropping three devices, and slowly but surely, it’s starting to pay off. When Samsung first introduced its bold new device, the Galaxy Fold, in 2019, people were impressed but on the side of skepticism and understandably so. The first Galaxy Fold served as Samsung’s testing phase for a phablet (phone/tablet) and a teachable moment. While it was impressive that Samsung could bring the Galaxy Fold to fruition, there were some issues that the company rectified with the Galaxy Z Fold2 and its smaller companion, the Galaxy Z Flip.
