Memphis on the internet.

Tyrin Johnson

“Tyrin Johnson was shot in the back by the Tennessee National Guard (as part of the Memphis (un)Safe Task Force),” Earle J. Fisher posted to Facebook over the weekend, “and the autopsy contradicts the official account of his killing.”

“This ain’t the first time law enforcement narratives don’t line up with the facts … yall remember #TyreNichols???

“Memphis deserves the footage, a full independent investigation, and accountability.” 

Dolly

“In honor of the beloved icon Dolly Parton, the #MightyLights will sparkle in pink tonight,” Mighty Lights posted to Facebook last week after Parton’s death.

“Look like a pair of jugs too,” Donnie Other Page commented.

And Memphis rocker Mike Doughty praised Parton last week and suggested a deep dive on her song “9 to 5” for anyone who makes music. 

Doughty’s own vocals shine rhythmically. So he understands the mechanics of the song’s phrasing on lines like “the traffic starts jumping” and “the boss man’s ladder.” After a “comprehensive listen,” Doughty decided “this is basically the Sistine Chapel.”
