- Eric Clapton is all about playing “Cocaine” again, though he sounds unnecessarily defensive when discussing his decision. “The song, if anything, if it’s not even ambivalent, it’s an anti-drug song” he reportedly explained, adding that he plays it now from “a more positive point of view. Not a pro-drug song, but just as a reality check about what it does.” Okaaaaay.
