Where the hell have I been?

Well, for one thing, Gary Graff and I have been putting the finishing touches on our latest book, Rock 'n' Roll Myths: The True Stories Behind the Most Infamous Legends (Voyageur Press). It'll be out in June, but you can go here if you're of a mind to order it waaaay in advance.

For another, I taught a class, History of Rock & Roll to 1965 at Webster University during the Fall 2011 semester. It was a terrific experience, and I hope to be teaching the class again next fall. Going through it for the first time, though, it was kind of all-consuming, and the blog, alas, got left behind. I'll try to do better in the new year.
