For Nashvillians, no explanation is necessary.

For those in the “cloud”… these statues are at the center of the traffic roundabout on Nashville’s legendary “Music Row” of record labels, recording studios, music publishers and such. When we have “critical mass” local events, secretive gnomes dress them up.

Today, they’re bedecked in Nashville Predators t-shirts as our beloved blue-collar NHL journeymen prepare for game 4 of the Western Conference semi-finals for the fabled Lord Stanley’s Cup.

Go Preds, and Go Nashville!

Preds win! Off to Conference Semis!
