MCA graduate, artist and sculptor Mike McCarthy founded the non-profit Sculpt Memphis to create a sculpture trail in Memphis of key Memphis music legends (as well as those artists influenced by Memphis music,) and to educate the public on Memphis' profound influence on global culture with Blues, Rock and Roll and Soul Music.
...And by the way, Feb. 25, 2025 is the 52st anniversary of Bowie performing Aladdin Sane in Memphis at Ellis Auditorium; Feb. 25, 1973 - and the very next day, Bowie and the Spiders visited the Memphis Academy of Art - and that's where this idea started. http://www.guerrillamonsterfilms.com/archives/bowie_index/index.html
