[Image Description: A cartoon drawing of the Kool-Aid Man’s back (a large, round, glass pitcher full of red Kool-Aid known for busting through brick walls to give people super-sugary cold drinks) is receiving cash being handed to him from the wallet of The Big Bad Wolf (known for huffing and puffing and being able to blow down all but the brick houses of little piggies). They are standing on the lawn in front of a red brick house, which has three little piggies inside who are looking out the window in terror watching the wolf pay off the Kool-Aid man to bust through their bricks. The Kool-Aid Man is labeled as “Metro Council,” the Big Bad Wolf as “Hotel Chains,” and the house of little piggies as “Nashville’s Historic Rock Block.” The words “THINGS JUST GOT REAL” also appear in bold white letters at the top of the image. “#SaveTheRockBlock” and “#SaveMusicCity” appear in small black text between the bodies of the Kool-Aid man and the Big Bad Wolf.]
