Ha! That I am
The things I love, I LOVE, but woe betide the things I don't....

ZZ Top were excellent last night - but the show seemed very short and the crowd were a bunch of benders.

Well they must be getting on a bit now.
Probably too knackered to do long sets.

Were their beards...flappy?

Moist flappy beards

*shudder*

Not flappy enough for my tastes
But for the audience of dullards that filled Wembley Arena last night, they were probably dangerously over-flappy.

I thought it'd be full of bikers, not fucking accountants.

Yeah, I would have expected a predominance of bikers over suits...
But then, when I went to see John Fogerty, it was much the same. Though kind of funny going into the gents' afterwards to hear one plummy voice saying to his friend, "Well, it's just a shame he didn't play Bad Moon Rising..."

There were some
But it wasn't like you get at Motorhead. All rather safe.

I think the majority of them were there for the 80s Eliminator stuff rather than the 70s classics I wanted - and got, I have to say. 'La Grange' and 'Just Got Paid' were stupendous.

La Grange is great
Tush is probably my favourite

that is weird
I don't actually know anyone in RL who likes ZZ Top. Not as much as I do anyway.

Tres Hombres
is one of my favourite LPs by anyone, ever. The production's great and the songs are classics. Billy Gibbons is hugely underrated as a guitarist too - perhaps because he's not over-flashy - but he's so fucking tasteful.

that's one of the reasons I like him as guitarist
I also fucking love hot rods (the cars you filthy fucking perverts), and he has some really nice ones.

apparently all his guitars are exactly the same with a veneer of another guitar on top.

Texas has spawned some of my favourite music
13th Floor Elevators, for example. A more totally mental band has never existed.
