SMAC

I'm a Scholar of Modern American Culture My entry into this field was through a prolonged and haphazzard “study” of rebellion.  This was a self taught lesson in what it means and what it takes to be scholarly.  I felt as if I had failed as more and more people of various influence began to react to my work as “funny,” but had I really failed?  If there is no room in scholarship for entertainment, maybe I don't want to be a scholar.  If my work has to bore the minds out of people in order to be scholarly, I'll wear my failure as a badge of honor.  With my natural bent toward things rebellious, part of me looks at this SMAC effort as reclaiming scholarship for the common man.  So I ask you all to become scholars of modern American culture with me.

The name SMAC was the brainchild of some college friends of mine and I was merely something of a brain first-cousin-once-removed.  My contact was just enough to legitimize my use of this name, I think I was recruited and volunteered to hold the title of secretary or treasurer.  Either way I did little or nothing at the time other than be an encourager perhaps, but deep down my involvement must have touched a chord.  The name SMAC called to me out of this past, and I realized this was the outlet for which I was looking.
