ZZ Top Comments on the Resilience of
Texas Texas favorite sons ZZ Top, aka, Billy F
Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard Houston is
our home and we stand alongside or
neighbors Houston, TX The city of Houston,
Texas, the fourth largest city in the nation,
has witnessed immeasurable damage and its people
have endured gut-wrenching hardship at the hands
of Hurricane Harvey since Friday, the 26th of
August. There is water everywhere, more than
chest deep in some neighborhoods. Other cities
and towns have also suffered inconceivable
devastation from winds, floods, and even
tornados, including Rockport, Texas, which by
some estimations now has 40 of infrastructure
described as structurally unsound and
unusable. As an attentive and giving nation
watched the disaster unfold, they saw
folks everywhere rally to aid the people
of Texas. Assistance has come from as far away
as New York, Kentucky, and Louisiana, but Texans
themselves have been out in force helping their
neighbors, even as some themselves have lost
everything they once had.

Texas favorite sons ZZ Top, aka, Billy F
Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, issued this
statement earlier today Houston has played
host to ZZ Top as our home base since we first
banded together more than four decades ago,
making us especially concerned with the plight of
so many of our fellow Texans in the wake of the
flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. We are
encouraged by the citys and states recovery
efforts from this tragic event and stand
alongside our neighbors. Long ago, we recorded a
song called Heaven, Hell or Houston. Were
confident that, in the near future, the first
word will describe the titles third word and
the middle will soon be overcome. If you wish
