Eric is nicer about Prince than he is about Eric.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

On the September 10th, 1989 episode of the BBC radio series, Desert Island Discs, Eric Clapton named Purple Rain as his favorite song and stated that it, "was actually a lifesaver for me."

The comment occurs at around the 33 minute mark

Yes it is.Keith was never too kindvon Prince because he felt Prince shouldn't stop concerts like he did when Ppl were launching bottles and rotten egs on Prince.On the other side Clapton was a fan of Prince .So he wanted to have a bet with Keith on Prince's importance in popular music.But Keith was so stubborn and didn't accept anything Eric had said about Prince so he gave up on convincing Keith.

Keith did compliment him at his induction.
