ZZ On NPR -- Everyone In Houston Has A Story About Them

Categories: Spaced City

A few weeks after they taped the show when it came here, you can listen to the bearded ones of ZZ Top as they play "Not My Job" on NPR's Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me.

"Were three guys; we know three chords," Dusty Hill says of recording the group's new album.

"Everyone in Houston has a ZZ Top story -- either they mowed your lawn, or you played at their wedding," host Peter Sagal says.

"If they have a bad story," Hill says, "I just say I'm Billy."

The boys then answer questions about notorious Wall Street skinflint Hetty Green. You'll have to listen to find out how they did.
