Those Crazy Memphis Blues

the long version

"Those Crazy Memphis Blues is a coming of age story overflowing with humor. Searching for excitement while armed with little more than false hope, poor judgment, eternal optimism and a bicycle, Matt Dwyer gets more than he bargained for when he moves to Memphis, Tennessee. Immersed in the theatre world of 1980s Memphis, our hero finds himself the victim of an endless series of hysterically bizarre situations triggered by whacky neighbors, psychotic girlfriends, a profanity spewing boss, and an alcoholic roommate. Attempting to maintain his sanity amidst an unrelenting onslaught of implausible circumstances and eccentric characters is more than enough to give Matt Dwyer a severe case of Those Crazy Memphis Blues."--The dust jacket.
