We started off in Memphis (pretty dead compared to Nashville), went through Mississippi, Tupelo, Alabama for some reason, Chatanooga and then finally Nashville. I was begging my Dad to take me to Clarkseville just so I could get my picture taken at the train station (Yep. Monkees fan) but there was nothing doing. Oh well. Still got to do everything I wanted to do and bought the most marvellous singing Teddy dressed like Elvis in his Jailhouse Rock getup. It sings Devil In Disguise. I luffs it
Yeah, my friend and I went to Memphis once. And once was enough. It was okay, but I feel that Nashville just blows it off the map. Memphis felt ghetto-y. 2PM in the afternoon, and you had to play hopscotch, just to jump over the bums passed out on the sidewalks. I did enjoy Graceland, though, and Sun Studios. I'll probably make it back there, someday.....
