On The Road (Day 0): Nashville and Memphis, TN

‘

Time for a trip back in music history, no flux capacitor needed. Nashville and Memphis still hold much of the underpinnings of blues and rock ‘n’ roll. Just at St. Louis’ weather is finally becoming bearable, it’s time to hightail it to Tennessee for a musical history lesson. And, Memphis BBQ wouldn’t hurt, either.

See our playlist for the ride after the jump.

Wayne Coyne Likes His Cover

We braved hours of line-waiting to make sure Wayne got a copy of our November issue. And boy, did he like it (see above)! Also, it’s worth noting that Wayne had a reasonable, 1-on-1 conversation with everyone who waited in line, which amounted to a four hour plus meet and greet. And, he enjoyed meeting everyone!
