Phoebe Bridgers has brought Clapton back into the news this week by claiming that his music is "extremely mediocre" and by describing him as "a famous racist." Her comments - which I address in the intro to this podcast - made me go back to a round table interview I attended with the man, in Milan, in 1991, at the time of the release of his album, Eric Clapton: 24 Nights. I rarely did such round table press conferences, because they didn't lend themselves to the type of in-depth discussion I prefer. And I was not popular with many of my fellow journalists at the table because I did persist with questions I wanted to ask, about the death of Conor, the songs the tragedy was inspiring, Clapton's music in general, drugs and racism etc. Hence, I want to point out that this is a less than half-hour long edit of a one-hour press conference and it focuses mostly on my exchanges with Eric Clapton.
