Palm Desert, CA - Citing an erosion in CD sales residuals he blames entirely on the growing practice of Internet "tune theft", an expressionless Dusty Hill of Z. Z. Top fame has resorted to his first non-rock star job.  "I still dig rock", quipped Dusty, perched proudly inside his open air Bobcat control room.  "I'm only doing this until my record company gets this money thing straightened out".  Growing weary of this thread of discussion we then asked him the question that's been on the minds of music fans for years.  "What's up with the beards, dude?"  After a brief dramatic pause he responded, "You know, a long time ago Billy and I took an oath that we wouldn't shave...no matter how long it took...until we wrote a good song."
