[Slowhand] Rupert Murdoch

[Jon Maclean]

Actually Eric's dislike for the expatriot Australian must pre-date Conor's death, because there was an outtake for th Journeyman album called "Murdoch's Men", which although only performed as an instrumental, apparently had a set of critical lyrics to go with it. No doubt this was why the song was never released.

That said, I would assume that Eric's dislike simply stems from Murdoch's journalistic morals, or lack thereof, and his corporate greed. Again no arguments here. Eric does seem to be known for holding a grudge.

Cheers,
Jon

Anyone read the June 2004 issue of Vanity Fair, the Proust Questionnaire

page with Eric's answers?  Seems like he is very content.
  His answer for "Which living person do you most despise"?  Rupert
Murdock.
 
His paper had a field day during the tragedy with Connor. He 
sensationalized the story (I'm sure most of the assertions in those 
"news" stories were completely made up) and published pictures of 
Connors broken body laying on the rooftop.
