ZZ Top Bassist Dusty Hill Dead at 72

For many on here this is sad news...take a few minutes and listen to the music that helped shape our youth.

I miss the music...

Another great one gone...RIP Dusty.

Awesome band for sure! Always had them playing loud at the cottage. RIP Dusty.

RIP Dusty…..one of the best !!

You can sure age a person by the bands that were popular during their teen years and its always been my take that mid and late 60's music was the start of head banging stuff. Every night for one or two hours I listen to a variety of music, depending on my mood at the time...and I've never heard of these guys.

Back in the days on the weekends my dad was blasting his Cash, Williams and Snow on his cheap record player that was part of his bar while I was blasting ZZ Top on my top of the line Technics stereo. I won every time. lol
