The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 17, 2023

AKA the Van Winkle Trio!

I’ve been to concerts like that!

The “Rock-a-Bye-Baby Band” debuted an album of soul-ly lullabies, that hit the top of the charts as a real sleeper.

Perhaps a little too much medication?

♫ Cause every girl crazy ’bout a shabbily-dressed man ♬

They are getting old. Maybe they should give early afternoon concerts.

RIP Dusty Hill

You get a little tired when you’re waitin’ for the bus all day.

I always loved how the drummer’s name is Frank Beard… and he’s the only one without a beard!

“She’s got pillows” and she knows how to use them.

ZZ TOP , The first concert I went to , small venue , OUTSTANDING show !

They’re getting there, eh?

Drool- nice touch.

Billy Gibbons still rocks. The blues.

“Every girl’s crazy ’bout a well-rested man.”

great band… :J

Next up, R.E.M.

" ♫ I’m just looking to get bushed ♫ "

I thought that was the top in Inception. If it keeps spinning, that means you are asleep.

I went to a Kansas concert a year or two ago. There were five chairs on the stage in front of a large drum set. The group came out and they sat in the chairs and started playing the first song. But it was fairly slow and very low energy. It was really bad and the audience was very confused.

About a minute or so into the song (which seemed like forever), the drummer, who had snuck onto the stage behind them, started on the drums and they jumped up and gave a great concert. Was an interesting beginning.

First time I saw ZZ Top, they were playing in a bar in Market Square in Houston.

Well, they are getting up there in years.

Hardly!!!

In this case more like ZZ BOTTOM.

The drool is a nice touch….

Can’t top that

They are really popular at insomniac conventions.

The one without the beard is named Frank Beard.

Gimmie all your sleepin’! Don’t let up until we’re through!

ZZ Stop?

Narcoleptic rock.

We’ll give you some Folgers if you play Tube Snake Boogie.

Except ZZ Top’s music is anything but dull…

Time for this old buck’s nap.

Reminds me of the ZZ Blues on Sesame Street

Well, now, don’t that just beat the band?

Perhaps some of them are a little too dead?
