The 2-time Grammy nominee Eric Clapton called “one of the great singer-songwriters” joins us to talk about his 1970s classic "On and On," writing hits like the Oscar-winning “Separate Lives” for Phil Collins, and the unexpected rootsy influences on his new album. Plus, he explains why his stepdad forbid him from playing guitar in the house; why he didn't like Barbra Streisand's version of his song; how he ended up getting his guitar smashed in Animal House; and why good songwriting requires heartbreak.
