Question: you like music? If the answer's yes, take a moment to thank the fine city of Memphis, Tennessee. Opera wasn't invented there (as far as we know); neither was polka. But damn near every other genre of music you can think of owes some debt of gratitude to M-Town. It's the (Congressionally-certified) "Home of the Blues." It's got a wee little bit of rock n' roll history as well (Elvis Presley—perhaps you've heard of him?). And it's one of the original capitals of Southern rap. Whatever floats your aural boat, the city on the banks of the Mississippi has it in spades, and you'll be guaranteed to find it at one of the best live music venues in Memphis.
