Memphis With a Spine

From The Gates of Memphis: Opera and Go Go in Memphis:
25 years ago today, Memphis strippers and their supporters executed one of the strangest and greatest protests in Memphis' history. During the performance of the Metropolitan Opera's Macbeth at the late Dixon-Myers Hall, they stripped.So some of us used to stand up in the face of tyranny in Memphis. Even as late as the 80's. It's not surprising that the women held out longer than the men. It's like the "Christian" Coalition road in and converted the city. If the conversion doesn't take you end up at 201 Poplar. Kinda sad, no one knows the address of their jail in any of the other cities I've been to.
