Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood A Memoir Author:Eric Burdon, Jeff Craig, J. Marshall Craig This book is about the journey from the morning the Animals recorded the song that would make us famous to the day, more than thirty years later, that I stepped through the doors of the real House of the Rising Sun. It's also about the life I've led on the road since 1962, a life filled with such extraordinary memories that sometimes, looking ba... more »ck, I wonder if they really occurred. After all I didn't keep a diary. I didn't take notes. But every so often I'll be at a show somewhere, or at a party, and someone from my deep past will appear and say, Do you remember when and tell the wildest tale. Just like I'd remembered it. And like I've written it here. There's a long list of bad deals, bad relationships, bad drugs and bad behavior. And like just about every performer, I got screwed by the businessmen. But it's only money. There's always more of that out there on the road. I'm not seeking sympathy. God knows I've been the author of my own misfortune as often as not. But it's been a hell of a ride, and continues to be. At least I'm alive to write about it--and alive to sing about it. The book includes a complete discography and fifty photographs, many never before published.« less
