"In his book The Heebie-Jeebies at #CBGB’s: A Secret History of #Jewish #Punk, Steven Beeber chronicles the Jewish lineage that led to #NewYork #punkrock. It goes from #LennyBruce, “the patron saint of punk,” to #LouReed, to #JonathanRichman, to #Suicide, to #RichardHell to Joey and Tommy #Ramone. “As it originated in #Manhattan’s #LowerEastSide in the early 1970s,” Beeber writes, “punk rock was the apotheosis of a Jewish cultural tradition that found its ultimate expression in the generation born after the #Holocaust.”

It’s a fascinating read, and one that had a parallel in #WashingtonDC #SethHurwitz, the founder of the #930Club in #Washington, is a local legend. He grew up in #Potomac, #Maryland, the same suburb I did."
