Mort's Frequently Asked Questions (with Answers!)

1. So Mort, do I have to be a Country Music Fan to live in Nashville?

Not initially. You will have a ninety-day grace period to acquire a taste for (or as we say, take a likin' to) our home-grown music genre. Suggested sources of study:

WSIX Young Country--97.9
WSM Nashville 95--95.5
Power Country--102.9

If, after this grace period, you choose NOT to like country music, you may be scoffed at and will be forced to join the ever-growing group of people who have discovered that there's more to the "Music City" than steel guitars and two-stepping. The Nashville music scene includes many different types of musical entertainment ranging from Jazz to Contemporary Christian, Bluegrass to Alternative Rock, and radio stations range from classical to classic rock.

2. So Mort, what is the Bat Building anyway?

Although it initially served primarily as an eye sore, the pointy-eared building has "grown on" Nashville, as it distinguishes the Nashville skyline from "just any ol' city." It is actually owned by BellSouth.

3. So Mort, exactly how much of the world's supply of oil originates in the state of Tennessee?

Although Bud Adams may point to Jed Clampitt as the rational behind our NFL team's nickname, to our knowledge, the Volunteer State is not a huge threat to Sadam Husein's oil empire.

4. So Mort, will my new house in Nashville have indoor plumbing?

Possibly, and we sometimes wear shoes and drive cars, too.

5. So Mort, doesn't Nashville have great Bar-b-que?

No, that's Memphis!

6. So Mort, where would I go to hear great Blues music?

Memphis!

7. So Mort, will I see Elvis?

Maybe, if you go to Memphis.
