H/T again to the busiest blogger in Tennessee, Kleinheider. I guess I'll have to start watching SNL again.

Woeful Wednesday -- Memphis Slim

Yes, I remember, a few days after Steve Cohen beat Gary Belz for the Democratic nomination (tantamount to election) for Tennessee State Senate District 30, Gary brought Memphis Slim into a grand show at his family's Peabody (Hotel) Skyway and had the class to have me sit with him at his table, knowing I had just helped Steve beat him.

Yo, what's with the white stripe running across Slim's head? No one ever told me. I don't think he "had it done." Maybe Slim's Memphis attorney, my law partner, can tell me.
