Grew up listening the the Humble Pie version on the fantastic "Thunderbox" album and never knew the song was a cover until I visited the Rock and Soul Museum in Memphis in 2015!

This was part of an epic trip my cousin and I did that we called our "Southern Swing." Her bucket list item was Graceland; mine was Ivy Green, the birthplace and home of Helen Keller. (She laughed so hard when I got into it with then lady running the gift shop about how angry it makes me that nobody ever wants to discuss HK's politics/activism - she was NOT just an advocate for the disabled, but for all human rights. She supported the Eugene Debs campaign and helped found the ACLU!)

We also went to see the historic FAME recording studio in Muscle Shoals. The civil rights museum that they have erected at the Lorraine Motel was one of the most moving things I've ever seen in my life and I left it SOBBING with emotion.

It makes me very sad to think that I would not feel safe making that trip now.
