More Memphis music for this holiday Friday evening ...
The New Yorker's Culture Desk compiled a little playlist of songs whose titles and lyrics make them appropriate listening for Thanksgiving. Included are two Memphis songs.

Big Star, "Thank You Friends" (1978)Then there's this old Sun Records side:
The power-pop kings of Memphis included this on their moody third album, "Third/Sister Lovers," which was recorded in 1974 but not released until four years later. The song seems like a straightforward expression of thanks to the band's fans, though it sounds like something much stranger.
Johnny Cash, "Thanks A Lot" (1959)
Most songs of thanks aren't sarcastic. This one is.
