After the Blue Ridge Parkway and after a city called Asheville, which is on the south end of the Parkway, the road got pretty boring. It's basically highway traffic, trucks, gas stations and hamburger joints hundreds of miles until you reach Memphis.
At long drives like this you must learn the art of driving with cruise control. When you reach the experienced level you can do it like this - without legs and from the backseat.
The best thing about American food is that everything comes in a form of junk food. Even a salad is served with a couple of pizza slices.
A vacuumed pickle was propably not the smartest choice of snack from the gas station, but at least you might enjoy the junk food a little bit more after this.
About halfway from Asheville to Memphis was a city called Nashville, which is known as the music city of the US. Some other city might disagree with this statement, but it sure had plenty of musical shit going on.
In fact, the city is so musical, that some people give away free music for people who have no music.
During daytime, the best activity in Nashville is a water bottle race down the steps of a governmental building. The trick is to have just the right amount of water in your bottle to have the perfect momentum.
The best activity during night-time is honky tonking, which is just an other word for getting wasted.
There was a certain honky tonk dance, for which every local knew the steps. It was almost as common as diabetes in these neck of the woods.
There is no such thing as collective responsibility. Someone left the trunk open at the parking lot of Graceland.
Graceland, the museum/home of Elvis Presley covers Elvis's personal stuff as extensively as Louvre in Paris covers the art and history of France.
Baseball games are an exception to the rule, that the focus should be on the Budweiser, and not on the ball.
Elvis might be the king of rock'n'roll, but horsemask is the king of all masks.
Stupid street drinking rules don't apply at the highstreet of downtown Memphis. The citizens have this one street to drink freely from open containers. Now I understand what it means when they say US is the land of the free.
How would you feel about wearing a blue wig, playing drums in the middle of a dance floor and getting the attitude from a black dominatrix? If you're into that sort of action, Memphis has just the right nightclub for you.
