A Texas band's grunge classic became an urban legend. They made it all up. "Possum Kingdom" tells the story of a grisly Texas murder. There's just one thing: It's made up.

When I was a kid, "Possum Kingdom" was always on bc it was one of my mom's favorite songs. For @chron.com's series on media that gets the Texas Experience(TM), I wrote about urban legends and having a Young Mom.

“That’s where I met Elrod and the rest of the Houston Eviction Advocacy Center, a scrappy crew of six offering free legal representation to tenants in Harris County’s JP courts.
