The Memphis Flyer has a story about the OGs of Memphis rap<\/a> who will perform at Riverbeat music festival this weekend. Little-known fact about me: Way back in the day, I used to play those guys’ tapes in the cassette player in my ’95 Saturn SC2.<\/p>\n

Now, you can ask Memphis<\/em>
\n‘Cause they know the deal<\/em>
\nAnd Alcatraz and Newcatraz<\/em>
\nAre keeping it real!<\/em>
\nAnd brothaz in Knox, they tote Glocks<\/em>
\nAnd try to stack bills<\/em>
\nLike they do down in Nashville…<\/em>
\nIt’s a Tennessee thing!<\/em><\/p>\n

Tonight at the Redbirds is “Snoopy’s Haunted Homers” with the team in Peanuts jerseys. It’s also Fiesta Friday where you can score a margarita, a Dos Equis, or 2 street tacos for $5.<\/p>\n

From WREG: South Main Sounds brings music to life<\/a><\/p>\n

Tin Roof will have a Cinco de Mayo special on Tuesday that is muy bueno. $15 will get you 1 bottle of Corona and 1 shot of Espolon tequila and any 2 tacos from the menu.<\/p>\n

Over in The Edge, Sabor Caribe has a deal not just for Cinco de Mayo, but every Tuesday. 3 tacos for $12, or 2 tacos and a margarita for the same price.<\/p>\n

The Memphis Symphony Orchestra celebrates America’s 250th<\/a> Saturday at the Renasant Convention Center.<\/p>\n

Reminds me, the Trumpster’s 80th birthday is less than a month and a half away, on June 14. I wonder how he’ll want to celebrate… probably a military parade followed by a stripper jumping out of a cake.<\/p>\n

WhatNow has the info<\/a> on a new wine bar, Over Keel, coming to Uptown’s Snuff District.<\/p>\n

Bardog has T-shirts back in stock. They’re soft to the touch and of superior quality. $30.<\/p>\n
