Eric Clapton has just re-recorded his song, "This Has Gotta Stop," with Van Morrison singing an additional verse and playing sax. The song is clearly directed at Clapton’s frustration with COVID vaccine mandates and environmental issues.
In the song "This Has Gotta Stop," Clapton sings the line "Enough is enough, I can't take this B* any longer / It's gone far enough, you wanna claim my soul, you'll have to come break down this door."
“This Has Gotta Stop” is the third anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine song Clapton and Van Morrison have teamed up on after “Stand and Deliver” and “The Rebels.”
Clapton talked about Van Morrison’s fight against the U.K. government over the lockdown of concert venues during the pandemic:
"He's gonna plow right on. When I heard the next couple of things that he put out I thought, 'My God, this man is fearless.' And I would love to be fearless, but I'm not. You know, I caught this anxiety syndrome. I have it bad and I have it as bad I had when I was devoutly following the six o'clock and the 10 o'clock news or talk radio or trying to find someone who's speaking a language that I can identify with. But now I've stopped watching TV."
