When I was an assistant to the Texas House parliamentarian in 1997, they came to be honored by the legislature. Normally, honorary guests are just recognized when sitting in the gallery, but ZZ Top was on the dias of the house floor, and allowed to address the whole house and gallery.
It was going to be a long night, it was one of the deadline days for passage, maybe 2 am late. One of them took the speakers mic and said "I hear you guys are going be in for a long one today, what you all say we lock all the doors and have one big ole party" The place went nuts.
I met them in the back hallway off of the house floor, also known as the speakers hallway. Pretty cool day.
