Well, learning Clisp first will make learning Clojure a lot easier if
you're not familiar with LISPs or functional programming. However,
Clisp is large enough that you could easily spend more time there than
you saved. If you really want to tackle a more established language
before Clojure, I'd recommend Scheme instead, partly because Scheme is
nice and small, but mostly because it also has some really good books
available. On the other hand, there are some good Clojure books, and
I'm tempted to say just start with those, but I haven't had the
opportunity to use them to learn functional programming, so I'm not
sure how much that opinion is worth.
