Eric Burdon and the Animals "Sky Pilot"

By Jack Brummet, '60's Ed.

This song came out in the middle of the Southeast Asian "conflict" ('68), not long before Dick Nixon took over LBJ's war. Sky Pilot: "a member of the clergy, especially a military chaplain." The war would go on another six years before the fall of Saigon to the hands of the People's Army and the NLF (a/k/a Vietcong).
