Clean shirt, new shoes

They had a great sound, the perfect combination of three musicians. Oh yeah, and they made rock fun!

Dang. I was fortunate to get to see them live about 30 years ago, one of the best shows I’ve ever seen to this day. RIP.

And they were just advertising a final tour, too.

I saw them once, at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in the 1985-1986 timeframe.

Terribly sad. I saw them in concert in 1991.

I knew something was wrong when I saw Billy playing with another bass player the other day.

RIP Dusty.

Bummer. RIP, Dusty. Saw them several times in the 80s, and they always put on a great show. Lots of fun.

I always thought it was funny that the dude named Frank Beard was the only band member of ZZ Top who DIDN’T have a beard.
