That Little Ol' Band from Texas Just Got Littler

[Smackie Chan]

Ashes to ashes, Dusty to dust.

Bummer, and RIP.

I have to take issue with one statement in the article, though. They describe "La Grange" thusly:

...the set included the raunchy single “La Grange,” a homage to the Chicken Ranch, the notorious bordello in the like-named Texas city.

Given the definition of "homage" I'd have to say it's more of an homage to John Lee Hooker.
(or maybe both?)

This is so FUCKING good.




1948 Boogie Chillen

I don't know if they'll go on.

Seriously doubt it.

[Mikey]

They haven't released an album in nine years (I guess they have one in the can though).

Billy Gibbons has released three "solo" albums since 2015, including one this year.

I don't know if they'll go on.

Seriously doubt it.

Oh well. Maybe ZZ Top will end up being like the Oak Ridge Boys - a name that just carries on despite having no original members.

[Smackie Chan]

I've got no problem with a band going on if it's the wish of the person that died.

I don't have a problem with it. Just thought as tight-knit as that trio had been for so many years they would not continue unless they were all together. Not real surprising, though. Money's money, and there's still some to be made by having that name.

They sucked before and they suck after.
One of the most overrated pieces of garbage going.
