    RIP, Dusty to dust.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Just heard this sad news also.

    Definitely going to play their greatest hits CD soon. It was a disc I reg. played to listen to new speakers or electronics I brought home. This disc sounds GREAT on my Polk Monitor 10's! It sounds great on every system too.

    ZZ Top's "Viva Las Vegas" was always a joy to crank up just a touch more.

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    We’ll, that stinks. As a Texan I had no choice but to be a ZZ Top fan.
