With the news of the ZZ Top bassist’s untimely death, I reckon the appropriate way to mourn is to mix yourself a ranch water and put Tres Hombres on the stereo—then read about one of the more bizarre chapters in pop culture history.
As for me, I’ll just ponder the closing lyrics from “Jesus Just Left Chicago”:
You might not see him in person
But he’ll see you just the same
You don’t have to worry ’cause takin’ care of business is his name
