Last June, I made a trip to Nashville, Tennessee for a family reunion. It was my first visit to Music City since I was a kid.
While I was there, I spent some time walking around downtown. I listened to some live music, enjoyed some Tennessee whiskey, and took in some landmarks.
I got to see the Ryman Auditorium, which is the historic home of the Grand Ole Opry...
...and paid a visit to the interesting Johnny Cash museum. (Did you know Johnny Cash, while working as a radio interceptor for the US Air Force in Germany, was the first American to learn of Joseph Stalin's death? Or that the Man in Black appeared on Sesame Street in the early '70s?)
I also took a stroll across the Cumberland River on the pedestrian bridge. There I saw Nissan Stadium, the home of the Tennessee Titans. It opened in 1999, two years after Bud Adams moved what was then known as the Houston Oilers to Tennessee.
As somebody who grew up a Houston Oilers fan, I saluted it appropriately.
I'm not still bitter. Not at all.
