Thank-You.
Eric Clapton said: "I continue to tread the path of passive rebellion and try to tow the line in order to be able to actively love my family, but it’s hard to bite my tongue with what I now know..." end of quote.
I had to look up "passive rebellion" as it was a new term (to me). It is not commonly used.
One definition: passive rebellion is a form of resistance that is hidden; not argumentative.
Eric Clapton seems to know what it is and it is expressed in his music. His music / lyrics could be a form of passive rebellion. Remember the music of the '60's? Music (not idol worship) could be quite rebellious.
