Letting My Mad Friend Have a Word.

Hey, is this cool or is this cool? I just found ‘Smart Dressed Man’ by ZZ Top on YouTube. Man, that takes me back! I was near-crazy about this band at one time. So I wrote a poem to celebrate.

Your presence sets my heart aflame
Your smile just makes me weak.
I thought about you when I went
Upstairs to take a leak.

Author’s note.

I did not write this. Mad Jeffrey has only gone and woken up! Bugger. Somebody put the box on his head, would you? My only comment pertains to the women in the video. Sexy, but short on chic.

Of all the bands i hate, i believe i hate ZZ Top the most.

They appeal to one of my more basic personality types, Andrea. And they're funny. And I wanted to find an excuse to mention them.

Are they rednecks?

Carmen said...

haha. you're funny.

A spiteful American editor (well, 'editor' was what she called herself) once told me I was funny, Carms. She meant it as an insult. It was after she refused to read my ms becaue I'd spelt 'all right' as 'alright.' She didn't like that, apparently. I suggested in reply that it would only take a few seconds to use the Search and Replace facility, if she felt that strongly about it. That was when she told me I was 'a funny guy.' So now I never know how to take it. Such is life.

They are high end rednecks, i guess. My brother loves ZZ Top. He can be a redneck sometimes. We are from TN. Speaking of rednecks, there was actually a KKK rally in my town today. I thought we were beyond that sort of thing. Not sure why i mention it.

Yea!!! All hail MJ, I've missed you, you mad bugger!!!!

Is this Jamie with the new baby? He doesn't look the type, Andrea. I assume you mention the rally because it disturbs you. I don't have many real hates, but that's one of them. To be honest, I always thought ZZ Top were consciously taking the piss out of that whole scene. The long beards are false, aren't they?

MJ is sulking a bit tonight, Mel, but I think I detected a twinkle when I gave him your regards.

andrea kiss said...

Yep, Jamie with the new baby.

I'm not sure about those beards, but there was a man who lived close to my parents who had a real beard like that. He used to ride around his yard on his lawn mower without a shirt on and with sunglasses like the ZZ Top guys wear, so that is what we always called him. ZZ Top.

Nobody gave him a Harley for Christmas, then? Poor guy, having to make do with a lawnmower!
