So has the braiding of College Intermission, The Rise & Fall Of ’84, and The Metal Years been OK to follow? Do you see why I think it is important to represent them as three simultaneously occuring but yet separate threads? I guess it could have been less emotional and more chronological. I’m just giving it to you as I have always had it organized in my mind. For better or worse, there it is.
ZZ Top’s Eliminator is one of those albums that I nearly forgot. When it was released, I was still a senior at the Academy. Im pretty sure that I bought this in the fall of ’83. I probably should have mentioned it earlier but thruth I forgot about it.
Eliminator had a bunch of songs that were getting attention on the radio and MTV. That’s how I found out about them. The songs were good enough and I still play Sharp Dressed Man on my bass. I think I just never was too much of a ZZ Top fan. Maybe it’s the beards.
I don’t know. For whatever reason, I never felt compelled to upgrade my Eliminator record to CD. A few years ago, I picked up a ZZ Top Greatest Hits compilation and that semes to be all I need.
