The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's: A Secret History of Jewish Punk
$16.95
The "heebie jeebies" in the title constitutes a fairly pointless pun on Hebes, as in Hebrews. It is the author's contention that punk rock, in most of its manifestations, was the product of a specifically Jewish mentality, that is, heavily influenced by and largely derived from the creativity of artists and promoters who happened to be Jewish. It's a little unclear what that has to do with getting creeped out inside the late, great punk rock palace of CBGB's, unless it's to invoke the Woody Allen stereotype of Jewish jitteriness.

Since Jews have always been heavily represented in almost every aspect of popular music, and arguably, in classical and jazz, it's not a particularly salient observation that there were a lot of Jews or those with Jewish antecedents in this particular genre, among them Joey Ramone (nee Jeff Hyman), Danny Fields, Malcolm McClaren, CBGB's owner Hilly Crystal, Lenny Kaye, Chris Stein of Blondie, journalist Charlie Frick, Mick Jones of the Clash and Richard Hell (nee Myers). He does make a case that the Jewish-outsider-socially-rebellious-hipster tradition had SOME kind of role to play in the rise of punk. Given that the Ramones' back-to-the-garage mentality inspired a zillion other young folks to join in the fun and urgency of making rock music, maybe it's not so surprising after all that Spin put them as number two in their list of the most influential bands, and perhaps credit is due to the Jewish hipster tradition. But was the Ramones' alienation particularly Jewish, or simply American white middle class? The intentionally cheesy adoption of retro junk artifacts and attitudes that helped define the subculture was codified by a (presumably) Irish-American and Scandinavian-American, Legs McNeil and John Holmstrom, who founded Punk magazine.

The author fails to mention that, perhaps as a part of its anti-hippie and therefore anti-egalitarian thrust, early punk could at times be right wing, homophobic and racist, hardly sociopolitical attitudes usually associated with Jews.
