Re: Bands that now blow...my theory

["Crystal Solana" <solanacrystal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like your theory!  About ZZTop... I recently thought they should 
become a 
comedy band.  They put out a really funny song about Art Bell, 
featuring the 
guy that does the Art Bell intro's.  It about killed me with laughing 
the 
first time I heard it.  Hmmm..... so maybe after falling down that 
long 
flight of stairs, they should all try comedy!  ;)
