Did you enjoy your MLK holiday? Did you have time off? I spent time around my yard cleaning stuff up. I also spent time working on a couple of new tunes. Yup, I keep on writin’. I made a new years promise to do more writing. So I’m doing what I can to keep it up. Another band that keeps right on chuggin is today’s boogie masters – ZZ Top.
Who hasn’t been to a party and not heard a ZZ Top song? The beauty of the Top is their heartfelt blues based grooves. I can’t think of a blues band that does it better, can you? In terms of subject matter ZZ has some of the best tongue in cheek content around. Cheap Sunglasses could very well be the anthem of Venice Beach California. Strolling up and down the boardwalk there’s an onslaught of vendors pimpin eyewear. So many choices and lots of them are very cheap.
Does your local shopping area have a theme song? Should it? If so, what is the theme?
If you don’t own any ZZ Top, what’s bloody wrong with ya?!?
(** Disclaimer: If ZZ’s label attempts to darken my life, I’ll hide the audio and run. The post will remain for the love. **)
