Having always had a very high U.I.Q. (Useless Information Quotient), especially relating to American Popular Music, I confidently, tentatively offer this public service. If you e-mail me a sincere question about the history, details, or trivia of American Popular Music in any of its forms, I will send you a sincere reply in a reasonable amount of time, and try to provide you with the correct answer. I won't even take a commission on questions that involve wagers. Just to be clear-- I will answer these questions from personal knowledge, the content of the many books lining my shelves, or by picking the brains of colleagues who know even more about this stuff than I do. Watch this space for a FAQ and STUMPERS inserts. There may even be prizes for those who ferret out answers to questions I didn't.

So, there you have it, Docrock trots out his Popular Music UIQ for all to see. Send me a question. See if I can answer thee.
