Short Takes : ZZ Top Given Big Key to Reno
From Times Wire Services
RENO —
After a rash of cancellations by major rock ‘n’ roll groups, the mayor gave guitarist Billy Gibbons and other bearded members of ZZ Top a 2-foot-long key to the “Biggest Little City in the World.”
Mayor Pete Sferrazza said the Texas blues-rock trio deserved the honor because it agreed to reschedule a Reno concert after an earlier cancellation. The band honored the agreement Friday night.
The Nevada casino city has been hit by seven cancellations by rock bands in the last two years.
