I know something about this, because when I was a kid back in 80`s there used to be a music show on TV here in the UK on a Friday afternoon/evening called "The Tube", which used to feature a vast array of bands who performed a set of between maybe 3 to 6 songs each and most of these bands would also be interviewed as well. I remember ZZ Top being on there around 83 and 84 to promote their Eliminator album and also watching their interview. I specifically remember the interviewer asking Frank Beard why he didn`t have a beard and his reply was that when Billy and Dusty started to grow theirs back in the 70`s he did as well, but the problem was that his beard looked **** and didn`t grow thick and lush like theirs, so he decided to shave it off and never attempted to grow one again.
And that was the starightforward response he gave.
