In Memphis Part One

Some say that Memphis is the best of the South, and I wouldn't disagree; necessarily. The reality is that in Memphis, they do things a little bit differently. For instance, people in Memphis pay far too much respect to a dead (supposedly), washed up, fat, mediocre musician than any one else in their right mind. They visit his out of date, over rated, not quite a mansion of a home by the droves. They also have named more than one road after him. Really, enough is enough. However, in an effort to more fully understand the mind set of those who live in Memphis, I sent Parker to do a little bit of digging (or playing and laughing, whatever gets him the story). On day one, Parker was pleased to report two phenomena of the Memphis mind set. First, an unexplainable love for the King (as described above), and second, the disproportionate sizing of beds. Apparently, the smaller the person, the larger the bed (Parker had this one all to him self, and he isn't even a fat, bloated musician).
