Herrington: The culture we love can bind us, carry us through and take us home
Chris Herrington
Chris Herrington has covered the Memphis Grizzlies, in one way or another, since the franchise’s second season in Memphis, while also writing about music, movies, food and civic life. As far as he knows, he’s the only member of the Professional Basketball Writers Association who is also a member of a film critics group and has also voted in national music critic polls for Rolling Stone and the Village Voice (RIP). He and his wife have two kids and, for reasons that sometimes elude him, three dogs.
Wanda Fern Herrington wrote gospel songs. Robert Curtis collected country and folk records. The music they loved was part of who they were, and helped carry them through to the end.
