City of Houston celebrates 170th birthday

Wednesday, August 23, 2006

What better way to celebrate the Bayou City's birthday than to honor one of Houston's biggest names in rock and roll?

ZZ Top will be inducted into Houston's Hall of Fame Wednesday. It's part of the city's 170th birthday bash. The band formed in Houston back in 1969 and has always kept a base here in the Bayou City.

Houston's 170th birthday party will happen at the Wortham Theater on Texas and Bagby downtown. It gets started at 6pm. Mayor Bill White will be there to give out the honors.

ZZ Top will join names like boxing champ George Foreman, gymnast Mary Lou Retton, and NBA Hall of Famer Clyde "The Glide" Drexler, who are already members of the Houston Hall of Fame.
