Vienna in the 1880s.
Paris in the 1920s.
Memphis in the 1950s.
These are the paradigm shifts of modern culture.
Memphis then was like Seattle with grunge or Brooklyn with hip-hop--except the change was more than musical: Underground Memphis embraced African American culture when dominant society abhorred it.
The effect rocked the world.
We're all familiar with the stars' stories, but It Came From Memphis runs with the the kids in that first rock and roll audience, where they befriended the older.
