It's more like with Clojure you're learning the "crazy" Lisp syntax. Sure Clojure has some specifities like #(...) and the -> macro but it's mostly the minimal Lisp syntax. Learning Clojure has helped me learn elisp too (no more #{} and {} in elisp but the syntax is quite similar). The one thing I noticed after learning Clojure is that suddenly it became very easy to learn all these Common Lisp and elisp blog posts containing code.
