A few random thoughts: first, I like how ZZ Top has more than one song about getting paid (there is also 1972’s “Just Got Paid”). Second, it warms my heart to know people are still discovering and loving “Cult of Personality.” What a great track! Lastly, I’m fairly sure Kyle does not own Guitar Hero Live, but I’m holding him personally accountable for “Stacy’s Mom” making the cut.
