Title: Tales of Partying (Yawn)
Review: I was a huge fan of Eric Burdon in the mid-1960's, and knew him to be a (sometimes) perceptive observer of the social scene and a walking encyclopedia of Blues and Jazz. Therefore this book - which consists largely of boring anecdotes of on-the-road partying - was a major disappointment.There is little here of commentary on the music of The Animals, on Burdon's musicial influences, on the inner dynamics of the band, or of the social upheavals of the 1960's. It's mostly sniggering recollections of partytime; we've all "been there/done that," and don't really need to hear about it anymore.
Is the review positive or negative?
