I believe ZZ Top sent Rush some specially recorded music to use as "buffer music" for his show and stated they listen often.
I'd love to see Alice Coper at the RNC. Perhaps he could sing "Go to Hell" and dedicate it to Osama !! LOL
ZZ Top was good on their slide-blues fuzz especially when they started out, as recorded on Fandango. I'd love to hear that ZZ Top again.
