This is about Peter Stringfellow I think.

It's a strange mixture of 1950s lyrics, 70s guitars, and 80s everything else.

It is a bit, err... repetitive.

Meganormous guitar solo.

On the album, credits for songwriting were assigned to Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard. Linden Hudson co-wrote several with Gibbons, and wrote "Thug" alone.
