MEMernet: Never Forget, Truth, and Doughty/Duck Dunn

Hello, Dalai; IMAKEMADBEATS on the schools threats; and a little unexpected Memphis.

James Dukes (IMAKEMADBEATS) spoke the truth last week after threats shut down several Memphis-area schools.

“Sending our kids to school should not be like this,” Dukes said on Facebook.

Memphis transplant Mike Doughty reunited with his band Soul Coughing recently for a tour. He found a little Memphis backstage in California. 

“Thank you to The Fillmore in [San Francisco] for providing Soul Coughing, as per the backstage rider, an original painting of Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn,” Doughty wrote on Facebook.
