I was with my 12 yr. old Granddaughter at a music store in B'ham. She was up from Texas for a few days. I asked her if she wanted a new cd and she said she really didn't like too much of the stuff she hears on the radio and what her friend's like but she'd look around. She came back with a ZZ Top "Best of" compilation and told me this was her favorite group and she hoped it was ok. OK! Heck yea! - especially considering the radio wasteland that is out of the airwaves today and the dreck that passes for contemporary kid's music.

Maybe the future of music is not so bleak after all if 12 yr. old kids like ZZ Top.
