Little Nashville: Murfreesboro's Murphy Center [MTSU]

By ERIN EDGEMON Business Editor Elvis Presley, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, The Who, The Beach Boys and Garth Brooks; all are legendary musicians who have sold millions of records. But there’s something else that these performers have in common. They all performed at Murphy Center on the MTSU campus during the height of their careers. From 1973 through 1995, Murphy Center was Middle Tennessee’s premier indoor concert venue. After the opening of the Sommet Center (then the Nashville Arena) in Nashville in 1996, Murphy Center has rarely been used as a music venue. The Sommet Center can hold up to 20,000 people for concerts, a number Murphy Center couldn’t compete with. Founding director of MTSU Student Programming Harold Smith said Murphy Center was the largest indoor venue in the Nashville area until 1996 with a capacity of just over 12,000, and it could generate the revenues promoters and artists required at that time. “That is pretty much what sold Murphy Center,” Smith said. At the time, Murphy Center was at the mercy of the regional promoters who booked the concerts. During Murphy Center’s peak, a typical tour route was Louisville, MTSU and then Atlanta, or Charlotte, Knoxville, MTSU and then Memphis. But to get on that route MTSU had to prove it had a viable venue especially when the stage crew was mostly made up of students. “The thing that cinched it was Elvis Presley,” Smith said. The King Elvis, one of the best-loved performers in the world, performed five times at Murphy Center to soldout crowds. And unlike most concerts, the rows were filled with families: grandparents, parents and children who wanted to get a glimpse of the King of Rock and Roll. Smith remembers fans flashing pictures from the front to the back of the venue and women rushing to the stage screaming. Tickets to the first Elvis concert on March 14, 1974 went on sale two months in advance. It sold out in one day. Smith referred to Elvis as a “friendly kind of guy,” but he thought it was strange how worked up and excited he got before a show. But when Elvis hit the stage following the intro to “2001: A Space Odyssey” it was magic. “When he came out and did the ‘2001’ thing, the hair stood up on the back of my neck,” recalled Chris Shofner, an MTSU student at the time. “There was definite star power there. He put on an incredible show.” Jere Chessor remembers his parents seeing Presley in concert. “Like any woman at that time, my mom was just in heaven,” he said. “She was just swooning when they got home. She remarked about how gorgeous he was. She was just in heaven.” Smith remembered the diamond rings Elvis wore on his fingers. As Presley was preparing to take the stage, Smith watched as Joe Esposito, Elvis’ road manager, wrapped fresh-colored tape over Elvis’ knuckles. Smith learned that he did this before every show so fans couldn’t pull off his jewelry when he put his hands in the crowd. The Who The Who concert Nov. 25, 1975 was what put Murphy Center on the map for rock and roll concerts. “I bought tickets the day they came on sale,” said Chessor, who skipped class at Motlow State Community College to buy tickets to the show. He managed to buy tickets eight rows from the front. “It was unbelievable that they would come to Murfreesboro,” Chessor said, remembering how “sparkling and new” Murphy Center was at the time. What Chessor remembers most about the concert was lead singer Roger Daltrey’s high-energy stage performance. “Roger Daltrey was really dynamic,” he said. “He must really have been high or something. “It was just incredible,” Chessor added. A review of the concert written in the 1976 MTSU yearbook, The Midlander, said the “concert had been greatly anticipated by most everyone. “Tiny, penetrating light rays of red and green panned out across the darkened Murphy Center. Fans stood in awe waiting for something more.” Shofner recalled that The Who was touring on the release of their seventh album “By Numbers.” “They only did two or three shows in the states and that was one of them,” he said of the Murphy Center show. The Who were testing out the show in Murfreesboro. Shofer said it was really unusual to have a band like The Who in a town like Murfreesboro. “It was a hell of a show,” he said. Other legendary shows Everyone from Bob Hope, John Denver, Tina Turner, Journey, Styx, Billy Joel and George Strait performed at Murphy Center. Chessor sat four rows back for the Styx concert June 29, 1983. “You could see the sweat coming off of (frontman) Dennis DeYoung,” he said. Chessor also recalled seeing Seals & Crofts perform Oct. 30, 1976. He saw George Strait play in the round April 7, 1995. The Midlander from 1977 called Seals & Crofts three-hour show “a hell-rousing performance.” Smith said Journey caused the biggest reaction of any concert on the MTSU campus when tickets first went on sale for the April 14, 1983 show. “When we put tickets on sale at the box office, the line for tickets completely circled the top of Murphy Center twice,” he said. That line formed five days before tickets were scheduled to go on sale. Shofner saw Linda Ronstandt perform Oct. 18, 1975. He recalled a relatively short show, which she closed by saying “Goodnight Vanderbilt.” Crosby, Stills & Nash performed “Teach Your Children Well” as an encore to their concert, Shofner said. “Everyone knew the song. About halfway through the song (Crosby, Stills & Nash) basically stopped playing and the whole crowd was singing the words. “That was an experience,” he said. Wendy Bryant was a student at MTSU when she saw Garth Brooks perform one of the five times he played Murphy Center. “It was actually one of the best shows that I have ever seen,” she said. “He was really energetic and he connected with everyone in the arena.” Bryant also remembers passing up tickets to see The Judds Farewell Concert, which was broadcast on television from Murphy Center, Dec. 4, 1991. Tammi Brumfield, who was an MTSU student at the time, remembers working as a seat filler for the The Judds Farewell. “One of the things I remember most vividly about that show is sitting in the back of the venue behind a couple of big monitors and being amazed at how much bigger the venue looked on those screens than it did sitting inside of it,” she said. Brumfield also remembers catching ZZ Top Sept. 18, 1991 and Rush Feb. 23, 1994. Joey Mears, of Murfreesboro, remembers seeing Pearl Jam March 26, 1994. He had general admission floor seats. “I fought my way up to the front and hung on to the barricade,” he said. What Mears remembers most about the show is the double guitar smash just before the encore. “I had hair fill of splinters,” Mears said. Mears also saw Bon Jovi, White Zombie and Nine Inch Nails. “One of my biggest memories (from the Nine Inch Nails show) was one of my friends came and leaned on me, and she passed out. I thought I should help her, but I didn’t want to miss any of the show.”

Popeye the Sailor [Rotograph -Max Fleischer: patent #2054414-1936]

The rotograph, patent #2054414, was invented by animator Max Fleischer in 1936. Essentially an enormous, revolving, circular miniature set built in forced perspective, it enabled a fantastic sense of depth and parallax in cartoons produced by the Fleischer Studio in the 1930's.

The rotograph was used to enhance some of the Fleisher Studio's most popular properties, including Betty Boop and Popeye shorts. This montage comes from two Popeye cartoons, "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor" and "Popeye Meets Ali Baba and his 40 Thieves".

Howard Hughes: Trumpy Yacht [Talbot County, MD 1939]

Howard Hughes' Houston

Incidently, the Houston Municipal airport was named for Howard Hughes in the 1930's. However, regulations in the 1930's prohibited the naming of an airport after a living person. Therefore, the name change was reverted. In the 1960s after the death of ex-Texas Governor, William P. Hobby, the city renamed it 'William P. Hobby Airport'.
IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BACK TO 'HOWARD HUGHES AIRPORT'!

This movie is bad, so bad that my mother who can barely stand the "suspense" of Discovery's Snow White, was chuckling through out the entire movie. My first warning would've been that it was in the $5.50 bin at Walt-mart. But I have actually found some good movies in that bin, so i can't fault if for this debacle. The second warning should have been that when the cashier rang up the DVD, it was actually $3.88. Again I have never been one to ignore the cheapness. Thighs definitely not for people looking for something good to watch, and it most certainly isn't for everyone that enjoys the occasional bad movie. If you need background noise while you are doing something like playing cards with some friends, then get this but if you are looking for something to actually watch don't even bother. It was really disappointing because there were a lot of good actors. I felt like i was watching a chocolate version of Thingamabob commensurate to?

SPECIAL JAPANESE INTRODUCTION QUOTE!

"

Maybe some of the strange times, but he, in a sloppy manner, in which it is his feeling, was that, like him, it's pure rock!"-- JAPANESE FAN ON 'BARON Of LOVE'

Like the kin of Jerry Clower, Jerry Lewis, and Jerry Lee Lewis passing a coffin on Percodan, Ross Johnson's "BARON OF LOVE (PT. 2), the video [special abbreviated version] from Alex Chilton's LP, "LIKE FLIES ON SHERBERT" is his Ross Johnsonest release yet!

This PANTHER BURNS' cluster-fuck alumni helped foment Memphis's 1970s 'cult of no personality' scene, which brought together a horde of shut-ins, and provided 'art damage' therapy, propagated by Tav Falco and his Unapproachable's.

Tav used a tool borrowed from the infamous cult leader chest: quasi babble-speak on top of dissonant musical accompaniment.

The cult called 'PANTHER BURNS,' named after an apocryphal [also cultic ] legend--unverified and orally passed from Plantation to cotton field--where 'you know who' thought they saw 'you know what' ON FIRE [!], smack dab in Mississippi's Delta.

This cult consisted of Alex Chilton [guitar], Tav (Gustavo)Falco [vocals, Silvertone guitar], Jim Dickinson [guitar *not sic], Eric Hill [synthesizer], and our man of the hour--the reason we're here! The greatest one-handed, beer-gulping timekeeper since the man from Munchen held a metronome and a Weierstrass while simultaneously yodeling--Ross Johnson [stand-up drums]!

LIKE FLIES ON SHERBERT ['LFOS'], recorded at Sam Phillips Studios, 1979; mixed the following year; released as a pipe-dream on Sid Selvidge's Peabody label; one year later on Aura; and finally by Patrick Mathe's French, New Rose, wherein it has grown into the greatest cult record of 'em all--in my opinion.

The album is divided among Chilton originals and Nashville Bar Band covers [think of a Lower Broad band-rider which includes Dexamyl and a keg of Schnaaps].

The only non-LX vocal track on 'LFOS' (although LX makes known the spirit of the recently departed Baron, Elvis in this tallboy-fueled, extempore-eulo-billy, seance/monologue, through his use of ribbons of a/b guitar feedback), this 'Flies,' was remastered by Dickinson, who says it's as good as it's going to get--which in Memphis means "ROSS JOHNSON will forever be remembered for "Baron Of Love (Pt. 2)"! *Orig track from Alex Chilton's 'Like Flies on Sherbert' produced by Jim Dickinson From Ross Johnson's Goner Records' self defecating 25-year retrospective autobiographically titled 'Make It Stop!The Most of Ross Johnson'.

bRACKET cOLA

What do Alex Chilton, Jim Dickinson, Tav Falco, Peter Buck, Monsieur Jeffrey Evans and Jon Spencer have in common?

They’ve all lent their talents to the skewed genius that is Memphis drummer/ranter/raconteur extraordinaire Ross Johnson.

Johnson’s name may only be familiar to a cult of faithful followers, but he’s one of the true heroes of the Southern alt and punk rock underground. From his days riding shotgun with Chilton, to his efforts helping found the Panther Burns to his work with outfits like the Gibson Bros. and ’68 Comeback, Ross has been a dedicated soldier in the trash rock trenches for four decades – while creating a catalog of truly brilliant and bizarre solo recordings on the side.

This January, Goner Records, will release Make It Stop!: The Most of Ross Johnson. This career-spanning collection includes 20-plus tracks, covering Ross’s solo sides and numerous all-star collaborations from 1979 to 2006. It’s a wild, wooly, sonic and lyrical journey that’s sure to take its place among the more outré anthologies in your CD collection.

Ross' mostly spontaneously composed songs – which concern his fraught relations with women, booze, and the very nature of being a Southerner -- are part deconstructionist roots music, part absurdist comedy. Imagine a cross between Hasil Adkins and Sam Kinison, or Charlie Feathers and Albert Brooks, or Kim Fowley and Jerry Clower, and you’ll get the picture (please forgive the groping hybrid comparisons, but as you’ll find out, Ross is rather hard to define). Call it southern fried outsider art or rockabilly psychosis, but once you get a glimpse of Ross’ twisted vision, you’ll never look at the world the same way again.

But Johnson’s story is more than that of just an unhinged rock and roll hellion. An Arkansas native and son of a respected newspaper editor, he moved to Memphis as a teen, just in time for the city’s mid-60s garage band boom. He got his foot in the music scene as a one of the few original and enthusiastic fans of hometown pop group Big Star. Johnson then went on to write for the legendary Lester Bangs at Creem, under the memorable alias of Chester the Conger Eel. He soon befriended Alex Chilton, helped introduce punk rock to Memphis, and later became a notorious imbiber/MC/ringleader as a founding member of Tav Falco’s Panther Burns. Since then he’s spent time thumping the tubs for a variety of wild outfits from the Gibson Bros. to the Ron Franklin Entertainers --- all the while maintaining his alter-ego as a mild mannered librarian at the University of Memphis.

Make It Stop! is a treasure trove of material that collects a variety of out-of-print, hard-to-find, and previously unreleased selections from Ross’ colorful career, including singles, album and comp appearances for labels like Peabody, Sympathy for the Record Industry, Sugar Ditch, and Loverly.

There is of course his legendary vocal debut, “Baron of Love Pt. II,” one of the highlights of Alex Chilton’s famed Like Flies on Sherbert album.

Also, included are solo tracks ranging from 1982’s infamous “Wet Bar” – which was featured on the companion CD to Robert Gordon’s book It Came from Memphis – to early-‘90s cult classics like “It Never Happened” and “Nudist Camp,” down to the recent acoustic nugget, “Signify,” a ridiculously raw self-confessional that will have you laughing and crying simultaneously.

The disc also unearths some never-before-heard (and suitably insane) tracks Ross recorded with R.E.M.’s Peter Buck amid a drunken haze sometime in early 1983.

Credited to

Our Favorite Band

[HEY, THAT'S ME],

songs like “Rockabilly Monkey-Faced Girl” and “My Slobbering Decline” represent some of Buck's first work outside of R.E.M.

(Amazingly, when the tapes were discovered in late 2007, Buck had total recall of the sessions and the songs; Ross has no recollection of recordings whatsoever).

Also included is Ross’ work with a couple mid-‘90s groups he fronted like Adolescent Music Fantasy – dig the band’s twisted take on “Theme From ‘A Summer Place’”. Ross and multi-instrumentalist Tim Farr stir things up as The Young Seniors – check their brilliant cover of Bobby Lee Trammell’s “If You Ever Get It Once” and a revamp of The Gentrys’ hit “Keep on Dancing,” which Ross mutates into a meditation on the embarrassing nature of “ass whoopings.”

Further highlights include a handful of team-ups between Ross and fellow garage cult icon, Monsieur Jeffrey Evans (Gibson Bros., ’68 Comeback). The duo essays everything from the freaky holiday anthem “Mr. Blue (Cut Your Head on X-Mas)” to a souped-up take on “Farmer John,” with equal parts guitar distortion and manic glee.

Make It Stop! comes packaged with a handsome 16-page color booklet, featuring Ross' own hilarious biographical essay, as well as tributes from acclaimed author Robert Gordon ("It Came From Memphis," the Muddy Waters bio "Can’t Be Satisfied"), MOJO writer Andria Lisle, and pop culture critic John Floyd.

Once the proverbial needle drops on this collection you’ll be – as Gordon notes in his liners – “seduced then debauched” by Ross’s “rivulets of rage, humor, and words words words.”

Don’t say we didn’t warn ya’.
