You may not recognize the name but he was the bass player for one of the great rock bands of the 70s and 80s and one of my favs', ZZ Top. He was 72 and died in his home in Houston. No cause listed at this time. If you and your peeps were burning one and having a couple of cold beers ya' had to have a little ZZ Top at that party, these boyz' could flatout jam. You'll be missed Dusty, R.I.P. brutha'!
