Eric Burdon (The Animals)

0:00You get to live as long as I do, you realize that history repeats itself. That would be near before, would be near before, would be near before. You think it's like that in music industry too? Yeah, I don't think. I think that life is broken up into various channels, and organizations, and channels, and roads, and they don't really change. Things come along that restructure. So elements come along like electricity, came along,

0:45and what it did to the music business was nothing short, amazing. I think of the concept of blues music, for instance, guys who were roaming around in the southern states after the Civil War, they took this call it Civil War instruments from both armies and the black guys started to express themselves through European instruments, and that's what caused jazz, what it was. And then the Roman minstrels with the acoustic guitars

1:31certainly could plug into amplifiers, and amplify the sound of their voices, and the guitar which became awesome, power, and it cast spell, people that still does today. And I call it bone music because it goes through your skin, goes away through your bone. But in there are countries that don't use electrical instruments, even in this world of new technology. There are East Indian practices and beliefs that are from vocalists, from human voice,

2:17that can reach certain pictures due to constant chanting elements, they can make you sick, or they can make you well, deep meditation uses. Do you listen to all that stuff? Not enough. I should have spent more time in India when I was younger. Were you there in the big craze with the Maharishi and that kind of stuff? Did you head out there? No, I didn't buy it. How come? Well, I'm my read in Indian women. Oh, I thought that was doing my... Doing your part? Doing my part.

3:02The relation is done. It's not a shake, but a shake from us. Yeah, and I lived with the Sikh family as well. Oh, I was watching for a while. So I've been quite at home with Indians and East Indians. I think that India is going to play a big role in the future. Oh, really? In terms of what? In terms of cultural significance? I mean, not taking to invading other countries and being very successful at it. You think they're going to do that? Yeah, they are. The word that they are. They've taken over the United Kingdom.

3:48I mean, the same was that Britain is made up of chocquebus. But, you know, it's a nation of chocquebus. And the Indians are the best chocquebus in the world. No, I've heard that too. And the English, we can kneel instead of rose beef in Yorkshire. The only thing is no chicken from the island. Really? Yeah. And if people have got any qualms about it, it's on ship. You've got to acknowledge it. They're over here. They're over there. They're really well. And I think with the advent of the computer,

4:35when you're speaking to a person on a telephone, if you live in the US, and you're talking about a problem with your computer, you're speaking to an Indian in Bombay. Mm-hmm. For real? Since reality. Yeah. The world's become a smaller place. Yeah. So if you've got a concrete eye, it's steeped in deep religious conviction, and not only conviction, but practices like medicine, beyond all belief. I mean, they've got, they have cures there, you know, formulated from natural enzymes and ancient rituals that we can't download,

5:21as some people can't touch. And Samoeti's got to come around Chinese. Yeah. They're the next big one. Think they're going to start a war? I think they already did. They started a war. They walked over the US Marines in North Korea, and they're going to get a night armed with nothing. Pushed us back with a 58 parallel. They really are big and strong stuff. If you've got not, I don't know. I'm learning a lot. You're like a teacher this morning, man. I mean, this is a fact. We're still there. Facing them. Facing the biggest threat, supposedly. The Bush administration tells us there's North Korea. Why should I not believe them, him?

6:06He's the president, eh? Did you vote for him? Can I ask you that? Do you mind? No, sir. Did you vote Kerry? No, I don't vote for nobody. I don't believe in the political process. At all? No. Who would you vote for, do you think? Who would have made a good candidate? If you did live, John Lennon made it. Nice. I don't think I don't know. Good guys don't live. Hey, you've survived. You've survived. You've survived. I don't know how you're wrong. Well, maybe this is purpose. I think I just found what it is. What is it? I want to help save the white horses from the white horses from destruction. For real? Yeah. How are you going to go about doing that? I don't know yet. It's something that I've set my mind to.

6:52I have to make the right connections to make the move. But that's the name that I want to do. It's very American. It's post-American. It's a pre-American. I've always judged countries by the way they treat the horses. That's an interesting way to look at things. Yeah. How do they treat them in England? They're too edgyly. Really? They use them as just an artillery carriage and the way of getting the soldiers to the front line. They don't care. They don't care. They kill around, I don't know, many millions in England. Boil aye of Australia and New Zealand is totally different.

7:37Really? And Afghans. What do they use? They're horse-twig. They're Chinese. Just transportation? No. Scouting. Recon. And, you know, quick attacks. And the horses treated as an eagle. Oh, that's nice. You're very far animal rights then? Oh, it's very good. It's not even animals, no. But nobody's perfect. I mean, I eat them. Yeah, I was going to ask you, are you vegetarian? No. It's impossible to be a vegetarian and be on the road. I don't get an old strength. You know, but you don't have to be a vegetarian to love animals. Oh, no, I'm in the American Indian when they killed the game on the roof.

8:24They always cut out the heart and they prayed to the heart and they prayed to that God for providing them with the food. I think that makes you so clear of any conviction of being on the wrong side of the... of the cosmic war when it comes down. And, are you wearing dog tags? You signify anything? I'm jealous, totally. Were you in the army at all? No. I escaped from the military. I had a family background for my military. My father was a conscientious objector. They wanted to put him in jail for it.

9:09For years I was kind of ashamed of the fact that I didn't have a father who was over there fighting the Italians and the Germans. It took me years to realize what real strength he had as a conscientious object. Because then it was a real stain. I mean, these days you can take political shower. But, being a conscientious objector. But, back then, World War II was obviously a war that had to be fought. So, if you don't want to fight, you are a coward. I think Vietnam changed that. I'm not even taking the human life. He didn't want to have that stain on his hands.

9:55Which is the biggest stain in people's hands. You're a coward or whatever. It took me a long time to really appreciate my own life. Was it Vietnam that made you realize? Was it before that? My father? Yeah. No, no, no. When you realize that it's not that big a deal. I was invited by Vietnam. I tried to write songs. Some of them which became pop success songs. For me they were, it was a political stance. And I tried to write songs that didn't go against the grain of being a warrior or someone who stood up the fight for your country.

10:47But it was against the involvement of religion and not formula. I don't think that priests or religious men of any order should be blessing napalm with holy water. I think that's totally perverse. That's why I don't believe in God. I don't believe in God's, like ancient Greeks, I think, as a God of war. It's already the God of war in front of teams of guys who are about to fly off to Iraq and drop bombs on the Iraqis. It's all right for them to go to their God of war.

11:34That's their car. That's their business. But I always thought of God as being a woman. That's kind of black. A black woman. Deserve what we're going to get. Why is that? We've done so many bad things in our days. We're pretty much the cause of all the problems. All right, great things are changing now though. Things are becoming more equal, kind of, in a way. It's starting. I mean, you've lived through it all, I obviously haven't, but you've lived through a lot of the changes. Have you noticed the changes? No, I've noticed the circle. They have a decreasing, increasing, or decreasing circle. They've, like you asked me, where the beginning of the infinity will go.

12:22Has anything changed? No. I think it's changed its face. It's changed its colors. But how can I see any sense in the world and any change in the world when the black guys who were taking it started was taking it started as well, right? Black pine plants in the 60s and 70s are now starting in line to join the Marines and go kill black Africans or brown Iraqis. I mean, we have no business. You think it's always going to be like that? Yeah, I think it's a human condition. We need war. I don't think we need it. I think that it's how to date.

13:08I think it's stupid. It's too clearly. I don't think, you know, when you have, you know, the warrior creed going up against the enemy because he believes that the workforce in his country produces a better form of arms than the enemy. And you go into the enemy camp, you know, knowing that and believing that your weapon has got your nation behind it. It's got the start on it. His myth and the western, the amazing spring people, you know. But now it's so perverse because we're dealing those arms to the enemy and we're teaching the enemy to use those arms and that's what Din Laden and his crew made for it.

13:59And it's made quite clear when they hit the World Trade Center, which is for them the center of hatred and all that belief. But I just read a book called Jawhead by a guy who was in the desert storm conflict. And he tells at the end of the book that the house is solid on making a gold medal for the guys who were there and helped to free Kuwait.

14:45And it's made a solid goal and it's worth a lot of money and it's given to those short soldiers who were there and actually rescued the house of solid from destruction. And if they, after the war, if they go back to Iraq and present this medal at the border, when they end of the country, they would be whisked into a hotel and served service by several virgins. And opium will be smothed and bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, which is the same bullshit as Din Laden tells his people. So this complete service is bullshit. It's out of date.

15:32I remember there are better things to do. And if we export water space, then we're really down. I mean, we're taking it into God's backyard. And that's where God's always supposed to be, is in his guide. And I think, you know, if I hold it, I mean the end of the species, I think. I hope we'll be finished by that. Really? You think it's going to happen for the next 50 years? I think insects have much better chance to move the cockroaches. I would hope not. You won't be right, but I hope not. I think so. It's even a bad or short snake that's rising in the machines.

16:18It's all in the movies. We've manufactured it from the best minds of several generations. We've manufactured these mythological tales. It's what Hitler's Germany was built on. It was mythology, fake mythology. First thing a Nazi's do is they change history. You change your family's history. You change your name. And you look for a reason to hate somebody. The lessons that are being taught from the Koran, they're no different from the lessons that are being taught in Old Testament. Except we have learned as Christians to take the Old Testament at face value and then change it to adapt to our own face value over the years

17:11so that we can live with these demands. We can live with the Ten Commandments. But the teachings of Islam is a new form, a new twist on those hardcore rules and regulations, and they haven't yet been able to look at them to real life. So that's why they will drown the 14-year-old girl for showing her face in public. It's a bit less than the stuff that goes on. The Bible said the same thing. What do you mean? Well, if you call it your neighbor's wife, you get stoned to death.

18:00Okay. It's still against the law. The law is not against the law, is it? No, it's pretty normal. The law is pretty normal. The divorce, man. Yeah. But it's still fucking wrong. We want to talk about music for a bit too. We've been talking about a lot of religion and stuff like that. How has your voice changed over the years? I think it's gotten better. Really? As age progressed, it's gotten better? How so? Well, because you realize your limitations. And I don't need huge amounts of narcotics and alcohol to give up them in front of people who express them and stuff. Were you a big party animal back in the day?

18:47I heard you all. So I've become cleaner. I've got a much better relationship with my audience. So therefore I'm better. Mm-hmm. Some are reflection of what they want to see in me. What changed your ideas behind, well, narcotics and alcohol. I heard you used to be a big wild man. A big wild man back in the day. You can't do it anymore? No, I can't get it. Oh, period. If I could get them, I would do them. Really? But I can't get them anymore. And it's too much of a hassle to go out and get them. But by then, I mean, good amount of one. I'll talk great point. Well, you're in Canada now. We have the best in the world. It's in them. Yeah, but I'm sitting on me. I'm waiting. I should have brought some of what I said. I'm waiting for the note in the door.

19:34Is that how it used to be? It just used to be flowing everywhere you guys went? Yeah. That's great. Yeah. It's a great time. You know what I mean? I feel sorry for kids' day. Why is that? You got everything but you got nothing. Thanks, Brian. You got everything to work with. To create a new, you know, I mean, take the word revolution and steal it back from Chevrolet in Michigan, you know, and build a new life and a new lifestyle. But it's all me, me, me, me, me, you know. I know because I'm married to a virtual kid, you know.

20:22She's half-mad, she's more than half-mad. It's all right. And she's sharp. She's pretty humble. She teaches me a lot about myself. But I look at her and her friends and I see a huge guy. I mean, there's a lot of skills there. Computer is a wonderful instrument, you know, but any instrument is what you put into it. And I think it's, I think it's the more damaged than I was. The computer? The computer, computer driven society, you know. I mean, it's such a joy when I get a hundred and let her know.

21:09Through bias, you know, snail make. And to see the character of people's handwriting. I mean, writing letters was such a skill back in a hundred years ago. You look at old Victoria handwriting. It's so good to be with you. And you know, a lot of thought and a lot of character goes into the person's background. Email is like using a machine. Here's the magic. Please answer. It's just like, it's all obnoxious. And you were kind of nervous going to the studio using computers this time around? Yeah. I was not. Not now.

21:55I was when the computer first came out. It was highly suspicious of the machine to learn maybe what I was saying. Now I know what to do with it. Kind of gotten over that. And I'm a machine set up now where a group of people that are making records with me, I've got one out there in my city of life. And just did the bed tracks for another one. Sure. A studio out in the city of Port. Oh, wow. And a studio live album and DVD double package.

22:46May I have the summer? Good. I'm working on a screen play about this very subject. About what? About the coming of the computer, the worldwide web to the music business and how it affected it. Cool. Can I read it sometime? Well, you can, I hope you can go cinema. Go to your local store and buy a DVD copy of it in a few years. I get something I won't have. Oh, my name. No, obviously not. It takes a long time to make a movie. These things sometimes never get done. And I mean, you finish them and you never get done. But that's a great challenge.

23:35It's what I was going to do. Becoming a writer? Well, I have written success. We have published two books. I was wondering about that. Well, how come you wrote a second on a biography? Were you not pleased with the first one? Um, I wasn't glad I wasn't pleased with it. I never read it. I just hammered it out. And it was, the relatives are easy to do because it was just reminiscing of all of the 60s. When I wrote it, it was in the early 80s. So it was just like, oh, yesterday. You know, but the latest one was completed in 2000. And I was writing about the whole period from joining a rock and old band.

24:27And having success. And having more success. And then it was a pinnacle. A pinnacle. A drop. And then the bottom. Bottoming out. And then rising again. And also it's, there's a lot of people in it. There's a lot of characters in it. And then one must be really careful of what you say about people these days because everybody is so, so, so. So it took a lot of research. And mainly one of my reasons for writing was in my first book. I made my opinions about Jimmy Henrocks' death.

25:13And as years went by, I thought twice about it. I thought to myself, you know, I better think twice about saying that somebody committed suicide. Because I started to read about the concept of suicide. And began to realize that in the world of various religions it's an absolute sin. I think it's about a sin to take it away. It's not in other religions, it's Japanese. Die and live with it. And they're proud of it too. But, and I always looked upon him and Jimmy as a woman. So when I first, when I wrote the first book that was, that was my opinion.

26:03I was a suicide put down. I did some research and the more research that I did, the more I was convinced that I was wrong. And so I had to rewrite that chapter. What do you think it was? What was the difference? Not a suicide, what was it? Do you ever know? Well, I could say read my book. It's easy to say read my book. But, no, I think it was a matter of soul possession. What do you mean? But, well, yeah, I peed around him. I was so influenced by him. And so in awe of him, as I was, that they wanted,

26:48the same thing happens to any of it, the letter is, that people want to possess your soul because their soul is with money in awe. Well, no, it's not money. It's more money. Money is just, so it comes with it. Andrix didn't care about money. I'm sure a lot of the artists in the 60s did. Well, I mean, you guys got through it. So much more money. Yeah. And remember, hand ricks coming off stage one night and the big smile on his face. Yeah, man. You mean we get paid for doing this as well? And that was the 60s attitude. That's why he didn't survive. Yeah. Because he had that attitude. And, you know, like you said before, constantly drugs being constantly fed to him all the time.

27:39And he had any number of women that he wanted. I mean, he was his meteoric rise to fame from Seattle, Washington to England. And become known as black friends. Black, black, black, black. That's tough to deal with. He just got out of the military money. He still believed in the military when I first met him. So it was a dynamic change for young guy. And I think that the girlfriend latched onto him and didn't want to let go to the point of where she made sure that he couldn't get up out of bed.

28:32And because she wanted to be seen as the most important person in his life. Which she wasn't a person she couldn't say that. It's too long. Yeah. It's tough, man. Women are tough to deal. And I'm starting to learn that. The whole Buddhist teachings will teach everything I raised to know about life. But I don't tell you about how it would be. What's your advice on women? I love my wonderful creatures. I like holosas. That's why I want to say it. Fair enough. Do you ever speak ten of the old animals?

29:20No, because I lived six thousand miles away. There's no need for one of them in the next school. And is this kind of least out of people over the years? No, it's like, again relating to what I think is like a military experience. The more people you make friends with, the more you have to kiss the pie. I don't do funerals. My telephone will be shrinking. And I noticed that I have the bad feeling that people have raised their stomach to have beds in my life.

30:09No, it's true. You think I'd be saying something like this if it wasn't true? No, but that's a bleak outlook a little bit. No, it's not. It's a realist. This is a continual argument. I have with my wife. In the moment, you're my wife. And I'm talking to her. Because this is the stance that she thinks. She says you're a total pessimist. You don't believe in anything. That's not true. I'm a realist and I live long enough to know what elements come together to make things go wrong. And if you believe that, like, tonight is a bad night. Tonight, the woman's all that it's going to fire. Oh, this teal smells and it can't work.

30:56No, no, no, no, no. You've got the wrong attitude, man. You're the greatest man. You're number one. You are. No, I'm not, man. Be a realist. You know, think about what you're saying. And then if wonderful things do happen, then I'm elated. So that's my way. It's too late to change down. It's kept me alive, man. So why should we afraid of death? It's just I don't like people talking that way and having that attitude. But if you're in the public eye, that's one of the things you're going to do. What do you think happened after we died? I don't know. No idea?

31:42I don't have no idea. I only know that if we take a lesson from nature, it's a good thing. Because, you know, winter, the old saying is that winter kills, you know. Wind has time for death. So when you look at nature and that's when there's a time when if the tree's going to die, it'll go down in the window and let away the snow. Or the rains are cold, the roots get, you know, well. But it falls up and it goes somewhere. And it, next year, it's green again, you know. So why can't we just live with that simplistic attitude? I mean, out of all the religions in the world, I find that the most livable, acceptable, and easy to teach and easy to live by

32:38is what the American Indians on this continent thought, the way they thought. And let's face it, they came over to parent states down through Canada, all the way to the southern tip of America, from North America to the South Americas, from where? From China, probably. Mongolia, all you got to do is look at them and see the similarities. And it is one symbol which somehow ended up over here over there. And somebody took it and made it into a bad symbol and used it and that's the swastika. You will find the swastika in Mongolia, China, South America and North America.

33:25And headline you, it's powerful. It's the broken cross, you know, to him. Very identifiable symbol so we knew that people would follow it. But, you know, the Indians is the American basic tribe or structures in this country and used it as a signifier for the winners. But in four directions, of course, it's a nice man. It's real simple. That's why it's such a beautiful design. And that's why, I mean, come on, this fucking design is against the law. You can't use it in Germany. They'll put you in jail in Germany for drawing it on the law.

34:11I mean, is that powerful or what? Yeah. There's probably the wrong way though. There is power in lines. There is power in heart. There's power in people's instruments. There's power in the voice. There's power in everything. Do you ever draw on a law? I'm just starting to. Yeah. It's typical. I mean, it's very, it's very predictable that I would do that. I mean, I went to art school for Friday, as from very six, and I'm a visual person. I was nearly ruined by a right hand from Russian and tambourines and cowbells and shit and rock and roll. And now I'm, you know, I'm at the point where I'm not going to lose the use of my right hand.

34:57I'm taking special medicine to take care of that and I'm doing exercises to make sure that there's no one. But if it did happen, I would pain on my teeth. Or the inner left hand. Or with your foot on my left foot. Yeah. Great. Yeah. Good boy. Cool. I've got a list of names here. Just wanted you to, you know, if you met them, say that you met them, say what you think of them, you know, that kind of stuff. Then he stories you have that brings back memories. John Lee Hooker. Yeah, I always looked upon John Lee, who does my great, great uncle. Really? You cover a lot of the songs? Um, yeah. Almost same one tonight.

35:42Oh, really? Which one? One, one. Of course. And I was full of coiled with the animals in 64, as you can move them out to. Like a woman's life. And I first met him in 19 years. And he was a couple of men. Life? Yeah. I wrote a song about him on my own. I'm calling him, calling him, calling him. Now, to your title. Cool. Or P-town's. Uh, you know, pizza. I love a guy. You know, the whole of always been so much for sort.

36:31Intellectual. Intellectualization. It's not a bad thing. It's just not a bad thing. I mean, Pete wrote a... A scooter. It was a moi. And I wrote a moi cycle. Yeah. I guess that's the difference. Was that a big thing back in England? Yeah. The mods were so they're after. Yeah. You're getting to fights a lot with that kind of stuff? I didn't. I ain't going to fight. I'm too small. I'm good at getting out of things. Yeah. Wily. Stuff like that. Bob Dylan. Well, I did. Poor with Loria, I guess. The numbers. For those. Like, when it comes to a berry. That's my next one, Chuck Berry. I think that.

37:16Yeah, run that little. Yeah. Yeah, I think Chuck Berry. You know, it's the first black to come across the color line. I think it's the first black to come across the color line. I think it's the first black to come across the color line. And, you know, I've gotten into trouble with the black community for catering to the white teenagers. Breaking songs about the dilemma of being in a juvenile in the 50s and 50s. And that's basically even Bob Dylan rolled on Chuck's ideology. And, that's basically even Bob Dylan rolled on Chuck's ideology.

38:08And called Sicklands as a star. We'll forget that. We'll forget that. He was an influence even on Bob Dylan. But he was. And the Beatles. There was a lawsuit, a mega lawsuit between John and Paul. And Chuck Berry. I don't know if Paul wasn't talking about John. Come together. Oh, yeah. Right now, which is Chuck Berry's song. Is it really? Oh, same structure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Come on, flat top. You're coming. Ooh, and also. Yeah. And, uh, G.U. That was, uh, here come a flat top. You're coming moving on with me. I put my foot in my car. That was, uh, here come a flat top.

38:54You're coming moving on with me. I put my foot in my tank and pushed my little Chevy. You know. Same. We kept that quiet. Yeah, I guess. That's funny. Yeah. I was just thinking you said chord progressions and you're a singer. And you write too. So, when you're writing, how do you come up with melodies? I don't. Do you have the band do that for you? Yeah. That's a work with everybody and everybody. Well, I would, I would with a trash man if I hear them through the windows and then through the middle of the area. Um, so you write down lyrics and then you know, jamming with the band. Well, no, I'm going back to my childhood. I mean, the one thing I was really pissed off at was the environment that I grew up in

39:43and my parents' attitudes, uh, because they were totally so checked to Britain and Britain. And Britain's lifestyle, which I just wanted to run and get the fuck out of there, you know. And I wasn't allowed a dog. I wasn't allowed a cat. I was certainly wasn't allowed any musical instruments because you might upset the neighborhood. Mm-hmm. So that's why I'm 10, I was 17, I was off to Paris and Spain. I was the first. One of the first non-spaniards to end other village of Deia, Palma Ime, Tom Palma di Mallorca, which now is the art center for the whole of Europe, you know, that's where they set the prices

40:34and the paintings for the comedy and stuff. It's really, it's really an art center. Do you buy a lot of art? No, I, um, I can't afford the time or the money that goes into the science and buy it. It's a big game. Mm-hmm. I learned that early on when I tried to purchase three drawings by one of my famous favorite artists, Hans Palma. And I saw these original drawings, the window in London. And I went home to get my checkbook when I came back. I'm a very well-known English actress, Julie Christie bought them from one of these things.

41:19So, you know, I mean, it's a game. And you've got, you've got to be in one place, you've got to be in the market, and you've got to be able to store them. You've got to be able to protect them, you know. It's like, that's a whole lot of work, you know. It's one of the things that I would like to have done if I hadn't have been me, but I am me. Yeah. So, it can't be everything. Well, it's continuing with the list. You're going to talk about that in Bryan Wilson. Um, these one person that should never have been exposed to LSD, is one of the counts, or a count.

42:04But he's brilliant. And I love the fact that people love him. It's great to see the adoration that he gets from. This one performed live at the one for the first, only, and probably the last time. I don't know, I hope it's not the last time. But, uh, Paul and Coy, and it was always blown away. I mean, it didn't do anything different from the record. Yeah. And the songs were the same length as the record, which I've never, I've never been one to live that way and walk from home. But nevertheless, it was a breath, breath thing. Stuff I was smiling. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was inspiring. Do you like this one? That's one of Paul's currently.

42:54Yeah. I love Paul. Nice. Great guys. He's a real clever, tedious, uh, manipulative. What do you mean by that? How many can like, hold a conversation with three people, the ones and others? No, there's a big hook. No. Do you ever talk to him? I think that, I think that it really was, hold him that he was the real heart of the Beatles. I always thought John was part of it. And now that I've seen Paul perform recently, I think that he was the, he was the, uh, Captain. I like George a lot of the songs. Close out of him. I love the taste.

43:40I used to see a lot of the pictures. They had to be sure. Mm-hmm. Was it like that a lot in the 60s? It was basically just a family atmosphere for all the bands, kind of, to a money show. What do you mean by it? To a money kind of a picture. And it's split everyone apart. Yeah. That's what it does. It's too bad. Yeah. Next one is what we talked about hundreds before. Jimmy Page. Mm. Mm. I don't know. It's good. It's all clear. It's never mad I'm part of the original. It's all for me. All right. Too dark for Eric Burton. Wow. Cool. I don't know. Okay. If you, if you talk, I don't know enough about the matter. Well, I do know a lot of them, but I'm not talking about it. But if you're told it was the tall thing, it's, you know, it's a phenomenon.

44:29Just one word, Eric Burton. Mm-hmm. Let me see. Mm. Mm. Mm. One of the greatest rock and roll singers as well, though. You know it's true. I gotta go. Sorry. I know. Thank you so much. I really do appreciate it.
