One of the most bizarre cities of all in
Tennessee and the
Bible Belt. Home of the
blues, birthplace of
rock n' roll (if you believe the old
New Daisy tagline).
City of love as according to
Pokey.
Elvis Presley,
Kathy Bates,
Alex Chilton,
Rufus Thomas,
Cybill Shepherd,
Al Green,
Wink Martindale,
Issac Hayes...all residents past and present.
Prime spot to get some damn good barbeque, or any kind of food for that matter. Memphians know and love their beers too. Spot where Jim Jarmusch filmed the awesome Mystery Train. Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones was recorded here. So was Pleased to Meet Me by The Replacements. And so was Washing Machine by Sonic Youth.
I like my home. Sometimes.
