"I guess if he is being championed by Eric Clapton, he's in good company. Clapton is white musician who has made a career from offering the world a bland and anodyne reinterpretation of black American music - whilst at the same time maintaining an ugly sideline in peddling dodgy racist ideas. 30 years after his comments in support of racist politician Enoch Powell lead to the formation of Rock Against Racism, he was still standing by his words. Am I alone in finding it difficult to reconcile this?"

Nope. No time for Clapton at all, for precisely those reasons.
