He means the alternate universe ZZ Top, made up of their evil twins. Dennis Beard, Rowdy Hill, and Bobby Gibbons.

And in that universe, Beard is the only one with a beard.

No worries. I did not remember his first name correctly.

We would drive through Pecan Grove to look at Christmas lights every year and would go by his ranch.

We were on a "duck tour " out or San Diego one summer.
Boat capitan/tour guide was a navy vet.
We were enjoying the bay area when he came almost unglued.
A nuclear sub was being escorted into berth by a few armed guide boat.
We passed around the binoculars so everyone could see the 50 caliber guns pointed directly at us. The submarine was cool. The escorts were sobering.
