Where the Hits Keep ComingInadvertently, an email of mine asking for disability researchers investigating how popular music sheds light on disability politics, identity, history, multiculturalism, or sociology was posted on a listserv. I got a few potential leads and interesting responses. One was from someone at a Welsh independent living center who is an underground/metal/experimental and Vic Chestnutt fan. I thought he might enjoy some of the band names I’ve collected. Then, why not share them on my commentary page.
