Mott The Hoople "All the way from Memphis" (B SIDE 1972)
All the Way from Memphis" is a single released by Mott the Hoople. The song tells a story about a rock n' roller whose guitar is shipped to Oriole, Kentucky[citation needed] instead of Memphis. The musician gets half-way there before he realizes his instrument is missing and takes a month to track it down. When he gets the guitar back, he is scolded by a stranger for being neglectful and self-centered. In the original version of the song, the stranger is referred to as a "spade", in later versions the word "dude" is substituted.
THE SONG:
THE RATING:
10 out of 10 -- I love glam rock from the old days. Brian May covered it, too!
