>From what I recall, Beeber was interested in the relationship between NY >immigrant culture and early NY punk, and the connections between 1st >generation NY punk to riot grrrl. So perhaps that explains the holes?

It's too bad Beeber didn't interview you for his book. His chapter focuses_______________________________________________
mostly on two punk women Goldie (Genya Ravan) from Goldie and the
Gingerbreads (whom he claim is the "earliest women-only rock band to be
signed to a major label" but I've always thought Fanny had that feather in
their cap) and Helen Wheels. He mentions Kathy Acker working with the Mekons
and Annie Sprinkle's collaboration with Lydia Lunch. He also mentions some
inane rantings of Courtney Love (like, if Kurt had "a little Jew[ish]" part
to him, he might've "stuck it out") and her like-mindedness to the
apparently Jewish Nancy Sungeon. His discussion eventually leads into some
talk about riot grrrl including Kathleen Hanna (who may or may not be
Jewish, he doesn't know -- and he says that she denies it altogether which
is enough for me), and Sleater Kinney's Carrie Weinstein and Janet Weiss. He
then mentions Heeb magazine founder, Jennifer Bleyer, and eventually
concludes the chapter by quoting X-Ray Spex. See some holes?
