When I was a 20-something (way before that term was invented) one of the hip bumper stickers for those on the left side of the political system was “Free Huey!” Huey P. Lewis was a jailed Black Panther, but whenever I saw the bumper sticker, I couldn’t help mutter to myself, “Where do I go to get my free huey?”
It wasn’t very funny back then, either.
But there are plenty of free attractions in and around Nashville that will keep any country music fan busy for a while. I recently collected five of the best free attractions and wrote an article about them. You can find the article here. Along the way, I’ll turn you on to a great free, and very unpublicized, museum almost next door to the Grand Ole Opry, as well as some places on Lower Broadway where you need to poke your head into.
We had a shocker here in Nashville, as I’m sure you know, on the Fourth of July. Former Titan quarterback Steve McNair was found shot to death along with his 20-year-old girlfriend. Tomorrow the Titans are opening LP Stadium for some kind of memorial. I think they are mainly going to provide a place for local fans to leave some tokens of remembrance. I’m not sure. I may check it out. I had a few early thoughts about the tragedy that I posted over on my Associated Content page.
