About this product

Product Information

Based in part on the recent interviews with more than 125 people --among them Tommy Ramone, Chris Stein (Blondie), Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), Hilly Kristal (CBGBs owner), and John Zorn--this book focuses on punk's beginnings in New York City to show that punk was the most Jewish of rock movements, in both makeup and attitude. As it originated in Manhattan's Lower East Side in the early 1970s, punk rock was the apotheosis of a Jewish cultural tradition that found its ultimate expression in the generation born after the Holocaust. Beginning with Lenny Bruce, "the patron saint of punk," and following pre-punk progenitors such as Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman, Suicide, and the Dictators, this fascinating mixture of biography, cultural studies, and musical analysis delves into the lives of these and other Jewish punks--including Richard Hell and Joey Ramone--to create a fascinating historical overview of the scene. Reflecting the irony, romanticism, and, above all, the humor of the Jewish experience, this tale of changing Jewish identity in America reveals the conscious and unconscious forces that drove New York Jewish rockers to reinvent themselves--and popular music.

  • Hey Man..

    if you like killer writing style and Lore of Judaica then this is the book for you.Steven Lee Beeber,a friend of mine,has written a vastly researched interview and philosophical treasure trove of lore for the Jewish punk afficianado,as well as the hard core punk fan.If there's a second edition of this book he might add in a story of how I met Marky Ramone and he told me about his JEwish upbringing after a Nazi employee of a club said I was following him cause he thought I'd expose hiM as such and told Misfits (The) that I was following him.Yeah..I don't think he was lying about the Nazi thing now that I think of it.He said he wasn't when confronted by the Misfits (Dez I think if not Jerry..)
