Five Star Fridays: Hooker Songs Edition

Friday, July 27th, 2012

ZZ Top’s hard rockin’ ode to the Chicken Ranch, the famous and long-lived brothel in La Grange, Texas which was also immortalized in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.  For the lyrics to this and three more songs from Tina Turner, Cher and Nick Gilder, see my column of September 4th, 2011.

Is that release in the same manner as cops needing to kill things, so they shoot dogs and people for no reason other than “I needed an ejaculatory sociopath release”?
