Eric Clapton, “They didn’t want to hear me play like them”

That’s when Eric realized that he had to develop some kind of personality of his own with his music. 

Eric also shares that being what he is can sometimes be lonely because he feels like he is too purist or like a part of a dying tradition like a dinosaur of a blues. 

He also shares that there was a time in his past when he thought that he would have to pack that in because it was lonely, Eric said. 

So he thought of becoming more of a rock and roll musician to hang out with other guys, but when Robert came along, Eric thought there was someone else who liked this stuff and played it too, so it made him feel more at home, Eric shared.
