1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Jum Mission with Jones and Amanda. Zz Top bass guitarist

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Dusty Hill has passed away at the age of seventy two.

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: He died in his sleep in Texas.

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: The band were together for fifty years.

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: Fifty years. Dusty used to play the cello. It was

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: a cellist and he made the transition to electric bass

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: because the cello is a big instrument. Would you get

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: your beard caught in it in the cello? I think

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: he was a school child. I don't think he had

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: a beard.

11
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: Oh he would have had a beard even then.

12
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he had like the beard sort of thinned

13
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: out as you get older, and there was you know,

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: there might have been a bit of strap on beard there.

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: I remember being on an aeroplane in America when I

16
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: was working with Beyond two thousand, a relatively small plane.

17
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: On that flight was zz Top and Carol Burnette, WHOA,

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: And I thought, if this plane goes down, I'm not

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 2: going to crack a mansion.

20
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: You're not getting any anything. And this gun reported from

21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Beyond two thousand Hopes and dreams, but this isn't about you.

22
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: It's about Dusty, of course, and curious. He was in

23
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: the band with his other rocky It is Easy Top. No, No, No.

24
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: They toured around not having much success, and in nineteen

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: sixty eight, creative differences, they separated. Then they ran into

26
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Billy F. Gibbons, and

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: so it was Dusty and Frank Beard, who was the

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: drummer of the band. Frank curiously didn't have a beard,

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: and then they became Easy Top. The most successful album,

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: of course, was a limited Eliminator in the eighties. But

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: what a raft of great rock songs did they craft?

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Fanger from nineteen seventy six, then Sharp Dressed Man that

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: came out in the eighties, Crazy going back with it?

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: You love this one.

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: Toushush, I've never known that. That's what they say. It's

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: toush say looking for some touch. That's isn't it. Having

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: a song I'm going downtown looking for some bum doesn't translate.

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 2: I never knew that's what it said.

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: It's toush and great songs. You know he will be

40
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,760

41
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: I didn't get to meet Frank, but they were a

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: lovely fella's. Dusty Hill, bassist of Zizy Top, dead at
