Short post today because I am on the road. I'll be speaking this weekend at Unbroken Chain: The Grateful Dead in Music, Culture, and Memory -- it's being billed as the largest conference on the legacy of the Grateful Dead, and the first to be held by a major university. Starting tomorrow, I'll blog the conference, posting about the sessions as frequently as I get a chance for those who are interested.
But for today, here's a quickie for you folks to bat around. Until recently, I thought Axis of Evel Knievel would forever remain unchallenged as the cleverest blog name to play off a celebrity. But I've recently come across one that gives d a run for his money -- Deutschland uber Elvis.

- Good Ones
A few good one's from those internets: Found these folks today, a new motorcycle gang from the northwest side of Baltimore, Semites on Bikes, the SOB's. They come out to counter-klan protests, except, of course, for the ones held on Saturday....
- Thinking Blog Award
Aspazia tapped me with this meme that's been circulating -- the Thinking Blog Award. I usually don't do these, but I do think there are some smart lesser known blogs I would love to see get a wider readership. (hint: it also helps to get someone...
- Local Rock Stars
I?ve been spending the last couple of days at a wonderful conference ? the annual meeting of Texas/Southwest Popular and American Culture Association ? that for the last ten years has had a running session on academic interests around the Grateful Dead....
