Frank Beard, the heartbeat behind ZZ Top for more than five decades, has died at 77.

For generations of rock fans, that steady shuffle was simply part of the soundtrack.

From the Texas boogie of “La Grange” and “Tush” to the MTV era of “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs,” Beard supplied the unmistakable backbeat behind one of rock's most enduring bands.

He joined Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill in 1969, beginning a remarkable run that would carry the same three musicians through more than 50 years of albums, tours and changing musical eras—and eventually into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

And in one of rock & roll's great little ironies, Frank Beard was famously the member of ZZ Top who didn't have the enormous beard.

Beard died at his Texas ranch with his family around him.

The sunglasses, spinning guitars and hot rods may have gotten the attention.

But underneath it all was Frank Beard keeping the beat.

Rest in peace, Frank Beard. 1949–2026.

A man goes to church and tells the priest, “Father, I almost cheated on my wife.”

The priest asks, “How do you almost cheat on your wife?”

The man says, “Well, the woman and I were naked, but we just rubbed against each other.”

The priest looks at him, disgusted, and says, “Rubbing is the same as putting it in. Never do it again. Say five Hail Marys and put $100 in the donation pan.”

The next time the priest sees the man, he is infuriated: “You didn’t put $100 in the pan!”

The man looks at the priest, disgusted, and says, “I rubbed the money against the pan, and rubbing is the same as putting it in.”
