I realize it is not what Starship had in mind, but Memphis was literally built on rock ‘n’ roll. What other town could have spawned the careers of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and Roy Orbison?
For those young-uns joining us, the Grizzlies were not always located in Memphis. From their inception in 1995 until 2001, the Grizzlies called Vancouver home. Not a bevy of notable players unless you consider Chris Robinson, Roy Rogers, and George Lynch could be mistaken in print for musicians. Perhaps that had something to do with the move to the Home of the Blues.
