Deadhead Social Science is a collection of papers examining various
aspects of the complex subculture surrounding the rock band, the
Grateful Dead. Deadheads, as Grateful Dead fans are called,
followed the band from venue to venue until the band announced
their dissolution in December of 1995. Deadhead Social Science
addresses the questions: What is a Deadhead? How does a Deadhead
identity evolve? Why would a person choose an identity that would
be viewed negatively by a larger society? Why are Deadheads viewed
negatively by the larger society? Is the Deadhead community a
popular religion? How did a rock band develop a religious
following? The book also examines the music, the role of vendors,
and the reaction by "host" communities to the Grateful Dead and its
following. One key theme in Deadhead Social Science is the
interconnections among teaching, research, and personal interests
written from a variety of social science disciplinary traditions.
