If one reads the following description of the Nashville Hard Rock Cafe you can see the loose connection with the Sphinx.
Music City, U.S.A. Now where could there possibly be a better place for the Hard Rock Cafe? Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Carlene Carter, Willie Nelson, Chet Atkins, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn and Lorrie Morgan all contributed to the "Nashville Sound," which made musical history. Live music is still very much a part of the culture today! If the honky-tonk charms of Opryland, the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry aren't your style, "Nash-Vegas" has many other claims to fame. Being that the city is the financial and insurance center of the South, the "Athens of the South" with several acclaimed schools (and its own replica of the Parthenon), a major sports center with the Tennessee Titans and Nashville Predators both at home, plus the State capital since 1843. Well, we think there's more than enough in Nashville to keep anyone pickin' and grinnin'! And at the Hard Rock Cafe Nashville, the good-times tradition continues. Housed in the site of Nashville's first brothel, our building stretches half a block long, and has an outdoor patio area so there's plenty of room for you and all your rowdy friends. Located in the historic 'District' of downtown Nashville, near the Nashville Convention Center, the Adelphia Coliseum and the Nashville Arena, Hard Rock Cafe Nashville is not just the heart of Countrypolitan, but also the heart of rock 'n' roll!
