Reply #11: ZZ Top---Arrested For Driving While Blind...

[abq e streeter]

a good friend of mine was one of the people arrested...also , a waitress I knew during a road gig ( a gig which included the friend I just mentioned) in Anthony, Texas many years ago, swore that a Bay City Rollers song was written for and about her. When I expressed skepticism (to say the least) about her claim, she replied that if she was making something like this up to impress me, why in the world would she pick the Bay City Rollers. Good point; I suppose it may very possibly be true. Also Bo Diddley -immortalized by himself-"Hey, Bo Diddley" and by Dylan-"From a Buick Six", and Joe Ely ("there ain't no better blend than Joe Ely and his Texas men") from " If Music Could Talk" (The Clash's Sandinista album). Have met both Bo and Joe several times through mutual friends.
