My biggest peeve when I visited Memphis. My wife went to Graceland, which I was excited to avoid. A couple buddies and I went to Sun Records for a tour.
So many black rock pioneers recorded there and they got about 10 minutes of lip service. The whole rest of the hour was dedicated to Elvis. I left a bit early when I realized they were sticking with Elvis the whole time.
Now, the Lorraine Motel - that is a tour I feel like everyone should experience.
- ghotli 3y agoAgreed and I want to highlight this comment. Skip everything else and go straight to the Lorraine Motel / National Civil Rights Museum. It's basically the opposite of a waste of time. For those that don't know this is where MLK was murdered and is now a museum / memorial.
