Meet Me in Memphis?

Jimmy Buffett got real about Memphis way back in a 2009 Talks at Google event. An employee asked if he’d ever play the city again. Buffett first couched his answer saying that he was scaling back his tours. Then, true to form, he went candid.

“That place in Memphis is a little funky, to tell you the truth,” Buffett said. “That Mud Island place to play … But there’s a good chance I could be in a bar there any given time. I still do that.”
