Billy Gibbons Rock+Roll Gearhead Book - Yard Dog - 06:51 18-11-05

I am thinking of buying this. Does anyone here own it? If so was it worth
the $30.00? I won't provide a link as the only ones I found are sites
selling the book.

"The ZZ Top frontman offers fans an exclusive look at his multifaceted
interests and collections. Gibbons riffs on his childhood and adolescence in
Texas, a recording career that has now spanned nearly four decades, and his
life on the road, in which he has shared the stage with the likes of Led
Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. The Good Reverend also profiles many of his
favorite personal artifacts, revealing the tales behind dozens of guitars
and outstanding rods, customs, and daily drivers, including Kopperhed,
CadZZilla, and the Eliminator coupe".

if I could've gotten off work Wednesday, not only would I have it by
now, I'd also could've gotten Billy to sign it - he's on a book-signing
tour at the moment.

promoting his book. Poor Billy had to put up with Howies bullshit.
