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.
