Among the interesting numbers cited by Bob Mehr in an article that compares the live music scenes in Austin and Memphis is that music in Austin has almost three times the economic impact as music in the birthplace of rock n’ roll.

A longtime attendant at South By Southwest, Mehr displays a real feel for this place that distinguishes his piece from other Austin music roundups. It’s a good read.
