In one of the nice things about blogging, after posting a Yahoo picture of a young soldier taking a picture of herself with ZZ Top's Dusty Hill, I now get to see how the picture she was taking turned out:
SPC Cassandra Rogers found her way to Florida Cracker and has graciously sent the pics she took of herself with ZZ during their visit to Walter Reed. Thanks, Cassandra. You totally and completely rock.
Here's the rest of the band:
Cassandra with Billy Gibbons.
Cassandra with Frank Beard.

I never liked ZZ Top, and I was listening to Top 40 radio around the time that LEGS was a monster hit, and I wanted to drop a bomb on them.
So way to go, ZZ. You made up for it. ;)

Posted by: Donnah at January 23, 2005 12:11 AMSo very cool. Great work.
Except -- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT HAT?!?!?! It looks like those little shingle tabs they used to make parking lots out of. Krazee Rock Stars. man!

Billy adores that hat. He's wearing it on their website, as well. To me it looks like one of those Puli dogs.
I'll always be partial to their Nudie suits and 20-gallon hats. Those had to have been HOT to play in under lights.

Damn you Cracker, DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!
