Gunfire erupts on Beale Street at South Main as 901 Day revelers ran for cover. There were more than a half dozen large fights on Beale throughout the day. Mayor Paul Young went out of his way to tell Memphians that our city was safe and the real problem was the crime coverage by news organizations like KWAM. Yesterday, the mayor’s rhetoric puts lives in danger. Our city is not safe and our mayor is a fool for saying otherwise. Agree or disagree?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Memphis Grizzlies---Chris Herrington from the Daily Memphian with Geoff Calkins on Hardiman Lease Negotiation on FedExForum

Earlier this year, I received the mind-bendingly generous offer of a couple of weeks “at sea” this summer to really drill down on writing my dissertation. It was the first time I was able to set aside every other beautiful burden in my life and focus my whole attention on turning tens of thousands of words on the Christian imagination into a single thesis. My soundtrack for those sabbatical weeks was the only Jeff Buckley album, entitled, appropriately, Grace.  Memphians are usually vaguely aware of Buckley, primarily because of his tragic death by drowning where the Wolf River meets the Mississippi. These are the two rivers we are told not to swim, often with Buckley's name added to the haunting testimonials. I myself was taught to fear the big waters by the invocation of his name. Jeff Buckley's shocking death in 1997 was one of many stories of young, talented, beautiful people whose early promise was cut short. Critics and listeners had praised him as “the next truly great artist,” citing his soulful tone, soaring range, and out-of-the-box sensibilities. And then he was no more. I've thought about Jeff Buckley a lot this week, for a few reasons. As I transition back into life at St. Patrick, I still have the taste of that fruitful couple of weeks scored by his album. I will forever be transported back to St. George Island whenever I hear him. Also, this past week a new documentary on his life opened in theaters and I've been foaming at the mouth to go see it. There's something about his album and story that touches “life eternal” for me. It's somehow both a product of its time and also an echo of past and future. Most meaningfully, I've been immersed in Psalm 105's brief coverage of Joseph this week in preparation for this Sunday's sermon. From Israel's perspective in Genesis, (at least for several decades), Joseph's was another story like Jeff's. A beloved young man, full of vision and promise and vitality, stolen from this world too soon. We could easily learn defensiveness and cynicism from such apparently senseless losses: “how to shoot someone who outdrew you.” The world doesn't fight fair, so why should we?  Yet a wider perspective shows us that “it's never (really) over.”  In fact, if we can see the whole picture, we might just take a posture in the mean-times that looks more like worship, even if “it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.”   Can't wait to be with you all!

Initially, it may seem like another diss on the city, but maybe there's some truth to his comments that are being dismissed. Also on the show, Jake gives his thoughts on the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, Arnold Schwarzenegger stands up for America on The View, and we play two rounds of Impossible Memphis Trivia.
