Like most of us, I of course remember the feature film "Alamo" from the year 1960.
I saw the film at a very young age in our small-town cinema; it remains a lasting memory.
The band ZZ Top named their 6th album in 1979 as "Degüello".
"The album title Degüello (Spanish for "decapitation") refers to a bugle call of the same name used by Mexican troops during the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. It expresses that neither leniency is requested nor granted."
A feature film that is still worth watching, and many fans of the "Little Ol' Band from Texas" consider the album to be perhaps the band's best album.
