Father Passion For Ferrari

Julie Rose Clapton's father, Eric Clapton, always had a great passion for Ferrari. 

He shared that when he was a small boy, he was crazy about motor racing. From his earliest recollection from five or six, he remembers Mike Hawthorn, Fangio Ferrari, Alpha Romeo, Mercedes, and Alto Union

Eric further explained that back then, how the car used to be massive with v12 and v16 engines

He added because of his love of Ferrari, he always had a fantasy to be a racing driver as it has always been No.1 than and even now. 

On the query about still following racing and going to race track, he mentioned that he is a big fan of Felipe Nasr, and they are friends. 

When asked about the similarities he finds in writing a song and making a great car, he answered that when he writes or a play or does a performance, there is a standard in his head as he has a perfectionism problem, and so is the case with Ferrari as it is perfect with its details. 

Regarding technology, Clapton admits that he still find a problem with computers and modern phone. 

He says that being ignorant on some level is a good thing for him as it brings him back to the importance of being able to play. 

Eric has a collection of Ferrari, among which Lusso and 612 Scaglietti are his favorite. He also owns a Ferrari GTO 599

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

Eric back then confronted that he was copying what he heard on the record. Also, he was trying to do it that way, but as time went by, Eric began meeting his heroes. 

For example, when he met Freddie King and Muddy Waters, they didn’t want to hear him play like them, but they wanted to hear Eric play like Eric

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.

Eric almost died

Eric was battling addiction back in the day, which almost took his life. 

However, Eric became careful and managed to get out of all those things, and he too knows how fortunate he was. 

Him being wealthy, he could take drugs as often as he liked. For more than three years, Eric was seriously addicted to h*roin. 

So in order to be sober, Eric replaced h*roin with alcohol.

Also, the musician has mentioned in his autobiography how he stepped on the path of getting himself clean and many more.
