ZZ Top was just in town at the State Fair, and I was lucky enough to spend some time backstage with Billy Gibbons. Now most of you know ZZ Top is the 'lil 'ol band from Texas, but wow are these guys ever down to earth. They were even out crusin' Woodward the night before the show, check out the classic cars.

I intervied Billy Gibbons (Guitarist) in his dressing room before the show. Billy was cookin' up a sizeable pot of chili with enough hot sauce to make a good man cry. We had a wonderful conversation. It will make a very nice edition of the Chop Shop (Sunday at 9 am on the 'RIF).

Oh, did I mention one of the guys was bidding on a pig at the live animal auction. I can only guess what they would have done with a live pig while on tour?

I have some great Chop Shop shows coming up. Chris Henderson from 3 Doors Down is my guest this week follow by John 5 next weekend. The Labor Day weekend special will be hosted by Mark Tremonti of Alter Bridge and Nick Perri of Silvertide. Then Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath and Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top!
