One of the best southern rock bands from the early 70s is ZZ Top. “La Grange” and “Tush” are over 40 years old, yet the ‘Top’ is still recording and making money as we speak. Over the years they have won nearly every award imaginable, while appearing in films like ‘Back to the Future III.’
Did you know that the boys came up with the name for their band from B. B. King? The best fun fact is that Gillette offered Billy and Dusty $1 million dollars to cut their beards; the boys declined the offer. Did you know that the only member of ZZ Top that does NOT have a beard, has the last name of Beard?
Just a reminder that ZZ Top released additional concert dates in early 2017 (February) for its ‘Tonnage’ Tour.
