... is when ZZ Top got their start. Note: This pic is from their H/S yearbook (1969, the year before their first "professional" gig) ... and the yearbook staff misspelled the band's name as Zee Zee Top!) ;)

I always wondered if their name was a combo of rolling papers names (zig Zags and TOPs). Wiki says its the combo of blues singers names. I kind of call bullshit. Plus, the school paper would avoid a link to the rolling paper thing by doing just what he did. Don't try to tell me high schoolers got bamds names that wrong back then.
Anyway, I have some of their stuff in my regular mix playlist. They're one of the bamds that made Les Paul a household name.

Ummm, I wouldn't know anything about the brands of rolling papers. ;)
Then again, I remember nothing but nerds on the yearbook committees in H/S. I could see where they wouldn't know the proper spelling of a start-up rock band.
Billy Gibbons is one of my favorites guitar players. He's a bad ass. Once sharp dressed man hit the charts I tapped out of anything else they did. It was crap.

Lyrically, that's a cool song. But, it's no Mexican Blackbird...
