History 4004 students, Winter 2008

I am not going to create a full scale course blog for my new "American History and American Popular Culture" couse, but I will be using this space to occasionally post useful items for the class, such as a pdf of the syllabus, with some clickable links for the web readings. You may notice some additions to the "Movies of the Week" column and the addition of dates for some of the films that got remade. The additions are not intended as more work, but instead as a wider range of choices.

Springsteen's politics: Some useful links

I am teaching a Popular Culture and History course this semester, and sometimes I will use this space to post materials that will be using for class.

• Bruce Springsteen magazine covers
• Animated graphic on U.S. inflation since 1960
  
• Animated graphic on U.S. unemployment
• Best Springsteen lyrics sight I have found -- from Lebanon?
• "Factory"
• "The River"
• "Thunder Road"
• "Born in the U.S.A."
  

Not much to see . . .

I have been in need of place to easily post stuff that does not have to do with any of my other course blogs, so here it is.
