ZZ Top A Go Go
Jon Tiven, Blast, August 1976
ZZ TOP DOESN'T exactly carry the image of being introspective, deep-thinking individuals. In fact, onstage they look like nothing other than a bunch of dumb shits from Texas, three boys who just walked off the set of Bonanza and are heading out after the show to eat three sirloins apiece.
