Living in the Houston area all my life, I have had the pleasure of running into Billy, Dusty and Frank on occasion. Be it in the neighborhoods that they lived, or at the Cadillac bar in the Heights. I have never met a nicer group of guys that are willing to stop and talk with their fans. RIP Dusty

Love "Fool for your Stockings", a great blues tune. Also, "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers"

RIP, Dusty

Very sad to hear this news. Had tickets to see them for the first time this Sept. in Dayton, OH. Was going to be a summer highlight. Great, unique sound and original members all these decades. Condolences to friends and family. RIP.

ZZ Top was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, introduced by Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.

"These cats know their blues and they know how to dress it up."; Richards said. "When I first saw them, I thought, 'I hope these guys are not on the run, because that disguise is not going to work.'"
