RIP DUSTY HILL I love you forever. Your bass was so loud at one show it made my wife puke. You were half of rock n roll’s greatest EVER rhythm section & a hell of a songwriter. https://t.co/3WruUsejtl

I hate that my social media has become more of an obituary but such is life, young or old, we are but mere mortals when our time comes.

Dusty was part of my soundtrack of childhood, throughout my teen years and adulthood.

Couldn’t wait till I was old enough to be on the radio and play @ZZTop.
