    "There was a time when Dusty Hill shaved. That time was about 1968."

    I can relate. Last time I shaved clean was around 1983. Learned quick if either a job or a woman required my face be "a close, baby's-butt shave" neither was worth it.

    "Eliminator" may be their top album but nothing they've done since "Deguello" beats their original, blues-fueled classics like "Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus Left Chicago"!

    "The blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll." -- from a song recorded by Muddy Waters in 1977, inspired by a Brownie McGhee composition

    I once quoted that "sharp dressed man" line to my gal in a text message. She said something like : "get real, you're an engineer, and you know you dress like a geek." heh heh.

    Gotta agree with KillerB... my stash-n-goatee is not something that's negotiable. Fortunately my gal thinks it's great ;-)
