Eric Burdon of The Animals

Was he bisexual?

I know he was a relentless pussyhound (I love his version of "River Deep, Mountain High," and that a guy that short had the balls to do a sexy answer song for a 1960s Tina Turner); but the full buy-in to free love and hippie exploration might represent more.

In particular, the opening lyrics in Anything (1968), always strike me as being about man sex.

"For you, my friend, I'd do anything Shine your shoes, anything Lose your blues, make love with you Take you under my wing, anything"

I had it bad for him when I discovered him as a teen . I thought he radiated sex . Billy Idol had that same sizzle.

I don't care if he had 70 wives.

Talk about overcompensating when the purse simply needed to fall out of his rough, fug, sexy mouth.
