Happy Birthday Eric Burdon!!!

I've written before how much I loved the music of Burdon's first band, The Animals. In the old neighborhood, they and the Rolling Stones were the two bands that you just HAD to listen to, (reflecting the cold, hard streets of Monticello Park ;) ). "It's My Life" is almost a part of my DNA makeup, and more than once that tune has gone through my head when facing a tough situation or choice. "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", "Sky Pilot", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "San Francisco Nights", all classics. And let's not forget "Spill The Wine", his funky, trippy excursion with War. Happy Birthday Eric, you overfed, longhaired, leaping gnome!
