As a follow up to that last post, here’s screenshot of Eric Burdon from the House of the Rising Sun video - that is a hostile and mutinous look, not exactly the scrubbed British Invasion pop star idea his management was probably hoping for. That’s a precursor to Johnny Rotten right there.

Just a simple glance at his ensuing career, and the incessant changing of the backing bands, tells me he was probably a grade-A asshole, but whatever…guy had the voice of a god.
