So, this past Wednesday my pops confirmed that his friend/patient from Rock’n’Roll staple The Animals, indeed, the same ‘music industry insider’ he questions for any industry claims /story /cultural-norm I relay that strike he &/or moms as dubious, is none other than the UK groups legendary front-man Eric Burdon. Um, yeah- i feel like i just learned Jagger officiated the parentals nuptials or something! Srsly blog-dience, when did my parents get this much cooler than me?? Anyway, if i could i’d SO totes be a screaming fan @ this show:

Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame legend Eric Burdon has charted with 25 Top 40 hits including classics like… 

“HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN”
