Farewell Dusty Hill

Back here in the obits section - I mean Bring Back Glam! - more sad news: Dusty Hill, founding bassist for ZZ Top, has died. He was 72. The band says he died in his sleep. Hill - and ZZ Top - are music legends, especially for southern rock. They were huge in the 80s too. I'm glad I got to see them live once. Seriously people, see the bands you love live now while you still can.

ZZ Top is currently on tour. No word what will happen with those dates. The band is supposed to perform tonight in South Carolina. Hill was already off the tour for a few shows for a hip issue.
