U2 Pride in the name of love. Memphis reference.
are songs about Tennessee even relevant on thursday afternoon?
more of a tuesday state of mind… chatanooga,
I have to go take a chatanooga I’ll be back once my memphis clears.
apparently more so than at any other recent time
Is this actually about Tennessee? Yes and no. But it’s a f-ing incredible song.
“We’re off the the land of club soda unbridled
We’re off the the land of hot middle-aged women
Off to the land whose blood runeth orange”
wonder what mic he’s using
This many replies and no mention of Arrested Development’s Tennessee?

reminds me of old prince a bit
