Of course there are always those that do not trust men with beards and this is a great shame, as history has proven that men with beards have been responsible for many great things throughout history. In Western civilization, many of our saints and prophets are often depicted with beards, indeed God himself is often assumed to be bearded. In the arts as well beards tend to be favoured, with the likes Van Gogh and Da Vinci being some of the most iconic bearded men in history. A famous bearded playwright also wrote "What should I do with him? dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting-gentlewoman?

The eventual first fruit of their labours was Eliminator, which became by far ZZ Top’s most successful and also controversial album. In total, it sounded the work of an altogether new band, but then again timeless. Eliminator was such a significant departure that it incited blues purists to accuse the band of an act of near-heresy.
