I’ve always assumed that the Memphis origin story (the spontaneous naming bit) was quite likely apocryphal, and this essay by Barbara Radice from 1976 does seem to point in that direction: she recounts interviewing Sottsass for the piece through his repeated interruptions to recite lyrics from the Bob Dylan tune “Stuck Inside of Mobile…” and then uses those lyrics as the organizing principle for the essay and her analysis of Sottsass’ work.
