"Arrested for Driving While Blind" is a song by American blues rock band ZZ Top. Written by Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, it was released as the second single from their fifth studio album ''Tejas'' (1976). ==Background and lyric== The song ostensibly concerns the pleasures, and legal pitfalls, of driving under the influence, after dark, as an antidote to limited leisure opportunities. The song references a number of popular alcoholic beverage brands: :"When you're driving down the highway at night :And you're feelin' that Wild Turkey's bite :Don't give Johnnie Walker a ride :Cause Jack Black is right by your side :You might get taken to the jailhouse and find :You've been arrested for driving while blind." In a 1985 interview with ''Spin'' magazine, however, bass player Dusty Hill said that the song was not meant to encourage people to drive drunk: "That's not it at all. Billy introduces it: 'Don't get arrested for driving while blind.' We’re not saying, 'Don’t drink.' We're just doing a tune."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arrested for Driving While Blind by ZZ Top Songfacts )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arrested for Driving While Blind」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
