    It's how you can tell who the drummer is:

    "Alienated-so alien I go!"

    I have a single by a band called Probe, which was led by Lanier Greig, who was the keyboardist in the original incarnation of ZZ Top. It's 70s Prog through and through.

    ....and ironically, Frank Beard of ZZ Top is the guy WITHOUT the beard.

    I thought this was a thread to explain why so many musicians had beards in the '70s. Phil Collins had one in the time from Lamb til Wind And Wuthering. Then, Mike Rutherford started sporting one in the late '70s. Many of the members of Supertramp and Gentle Giant had them. Seems like many '80s musicians didn't have them.

    EJ is a '70s musician. He did have one point in the early '70s, but not the '80s.

    Is it significant that Tom Cruise has never grown a beard but is fond of the concept?

    You all are clearly too old to make fun of what the hipsters of today look like and are up to.

    Wow- I hate to say it but Trevor Horn seems to be kind of a Dickhead.
