Back in the early 80′s, when I ruled the rock airwaves in Houston, ZZ Top’s management company was located on a large patch of land off of I-10. We all used to joke and make fun because the band’s manager, Bill Ham, bought a couple of goats to keep the grass at bay. He was, to us, notoriously cheap, and this was a great way to save money on a lawn service.
Apparently Google has figured this out and it is now considered curious, yet brilliant.
Bill. I take it all back. Brilliant. Ahead of your time. Maybe Google can hire ZZ Top to play a lunch time concert. It’s the least they could do. And invite the goats.
