I like how Billy Gibbons handles himself, just stops what he was doing to answer a long winded personal question with patience and grace. Think about how long Billy and Dusty knew each other and all that they experienced together over 60 years +/-. Now imagine a stranger coming up to you with a camera and asking about your oldest brothers estate issues and an investor flip of his house and personal belongings. Billy didn't care about the stuff in the house, he just thought it was tacky to cash in Dusty's stuff and act like it sanctioned by the band.

They say never meet your heroes or you will be disappointed. I would love to bump into Rev. Gibbons ask him about Lightnin Hopkins or Johnny Winter or Millon other things after thanking him for his service to mankind. I have seen ZZ Top 5 times and the last show with Elwood was one of the best, gonna see again in September.

Minute you have it all next minute you have nothing

God bless billy gibbons. It must have been so depressing for him at the time

I really like this guy and his music. He's great. Ironically, I feel super bad for him that he ripped off Linden Hudson, the guy who helped him write Eliminator - which vaulted their fame. They are both good guys who should eventually come together and f' the money. Linden introduced the whole drum machine thing (which I personally ain't a fan of) and was irretrievably responsible for their success. He eventually got some small credit (after suing) for the album. Peace homies. Hope y'all work it out..

So what if they try to make a few bucks off some bits and bobs that were left behind in the house they now rightfully own? They knew the house was being sold, if they wanted it they could've and would have just taken that stuff with them in the first place. What were the new owners supposed to do with it, throw it away? Keep it? Give it to poor Billy Gibbons? If Billy really cared that much he could've just had one of his people go in there incognito and buy it all up for what would amount to nothing to someone who's got millions of dollars, but in reality he probably realizes he has more than enough of his own junk to last him a life time, so who cares if some left behind odds and ends go to a few devout fans who love zztop enough to actually take the time to go out there and pay way too much for what? A couple a bar stools and a walking stick? Jeez
