MUSIC SIGNPOSTS ON THE WEB'S LONELY ROAD

Artist:

Aaight people, I work for a company that publishes books for teachers (Heinemann) and one of the biggest conferences that we exhibit at is this weekend (NCTE, National Council of Teachers of English). Though I am but a lowly Marketing Assistant, I am going to be working at this conference.

Here's the deal. It's at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, where, rumor has it, they play country-western music 24/7 EVERYWHERE, including the parking lot.

I am making a playlist specifically for this trip, which is to contain NO COUNTRY music (except perhaps for some Johnny Cash), so that I may endure this trip. It has a lot of hip hop so far. Other than Nashville Pussy and "Tennessee" by Arrested Development, what are some other songs that are either about the city/state, or would help me through my trip?

I've occasionally thought about switching over to working for a publishing company instead of continuing to teach. How do you like your job? I love books, and I'd also like to write a book. But I also love teaching. Sorry I can't answer your question about Nashville, but I just wanted you to know that I wish I could be at the NCTE. I don't go to many conferences --- no dough.
