Hi Allan:

Thanks for your input. I did post a response to his piece on punk 
appropriation of Nazi imagery at Jewcy.com -- but I haven't yet mentioned to 
him my impression that he has overlooked some interesting Jewish women in 
punk. Let me finish the book first!

P.S. Oddly enough, another person acknowledged at the beginning of the book 
is the musician we hired to do the music for my wedding! His band, the 
Afro-Semitic Experience, will be entertaining all our friends and relatives. 
Weird.

...Finally, I am just getting into this neat book called The Heebie-Jeebies 
at CBGBs: A Secret History of Jewish Punk. So far, I am really enjoying 
Beeber's analysis. I haven't yet read the chapter called, "The New JAPS 
(Jewish American Punks): Jewish American Women and the Birth of Female 
Punk," however I can already tell it overlooks some women celebrated on this 
listserv. I seem to have a vague recollection of hearing that Ari-Up and 
Lora Logic are Jewish and I don't see their names in the index. Anyone 
familiar with this book who wants to chime in?...
***Hi Dina: I've read the book, and exchanged messages with the author, who 
appears to be open to suggestions.

In the interest of full discosure, the author cited my book in the chapter 
on Deborah Harry--"Chris Stein Creates the First Punk Princess"--and 
mentioned my name in the Acknowledgements.
