• Lyndon Massa from Tulsa, Ok In the early summer of 1975 I was working at a Sporting Goods store in high school after school and on weekends after my senior year. I was going to the zztop outdoor concert that evening at the Tulsa Raceway and our fairgrounds. I was running late almost and got back to the store after delivering the last charcoal cooker for the day and when I pull up there is a Dodge van outside, Orange I believe, with the outlline of the state of Texas on it and it says either Texas or ZZTop across the map outline of Texas. I did not pay much attention until I got inside the store and there stood Billy Gibbons and the guys waiting for someone to help them. So I walk over , knowing who they are but afraid to mention it. So he asks if we have any sunglasses, the stage that night faced the setting Oklahoma sun and it was hot! So I tell him that we really don't sell any of the "cheap sunglasses" but we had ones used for snow skiing, so he looked at them and took a pair to purchase. So we finally get to the register and I finally got up the nerve to tell them I was getting off work in a few minutes and was going to the show and asked if they could help me out with any back stage passes or anything but Billy just turns around and says "We'll check ya at the show"
• Seventhmist from 7th HeavenThat repeated, discordant 3-note keyboard riff always brought the riff in Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me Not to Come" to mind.
• Dane from Lima,ohio, FlThe thing I like most about this song is how it just winds down,then finally stops.Songs today don't normally do that.Other killer ZZ Top songs:Blue Jean Blues,My head's in Mississippi,2000 blues,Sure got cold after the rain fell & brown sugar(not the Rolling Stones song)
• Charlie from Bozeman, Mti used to love cheap glasses until i realized that they scratched easily not to mention i had no financial obligation to not loose them.it is a drag to wake up hungover only to realize that youve lost them the night before.great song though.
