“There are cool cats and there are cool Memphis cats but no one, not
 Elvis, not Jerry Lee, not even the Wolf came close to epitomizing Memphis
 and cool like Jim Dickinson did. He was the Top Cat Daddy, an
 inspiration, a mentor and my friend.
If you knew his music and understood his role as one of the links between
 black and white culture and between blues and rock and roll, you know what
 I'm talking about. If he is unfamiliar to you, now's as good time as any
 to get to know him, even though he's checked out of the motel.”
