I'm curious about the title- does the term "heebie jeebies" have some
kind of connection to Judaism? Am i missing something?

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.
