For Dusty Hill, the Texas Afterburner – tequila and Tabasco.
Best ZZtop riff out there.
Thus endeth the run of the longest unchanged band line up in popular music, running with Gibbons, Hill, and the famously beardless Beard since 1970.

I saw them at Riverbend in Cincinnati couple of years ago. Greatest concert EVER!!
I got to see ZZ Top as the openers for Lynrd Skynrd at the Oakland Coliseum with a friend and his girl just before the turn of the century. I think they put on a better show than the headliner.
Netflix did a documentary that came out pre-COVID that was excellent ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL’ BAND FROM TEXAS
