Another great 80s moment, Richie!
I always remember the mime artist who performed with Hojo, and also Hojo’s Grammy performance with Herbie Hancock!
And of course, all of Howard’s brilliant singles!

still waiting for more zztop……..
Thanks, I think I’m all out of ZZ Top right now…
At 9 years of age that mime helped me understand the term ‘annoying’. Thanks for the post – that mime pick brought me back. Way back.
Never heard this version of Conditioning before! Gracias.
