EVENT
Heebie- Jeebies at CBGB’s : With author Steven Lee Beeber, Danny Fields, LEnny Kaye, & other special guests at Museum of Jewish Heritage: Edmond J. Safra Hall, New York City – “Join us for a look at the fascinating New York Jewish origins of Punk. Our panel of famous figures from the music scene will address Punk’s ironic humor, leftist political engagement, and concern with the common man, among other topics. The Heebie-Jeebies of the title is more than just a joke then— it is an expression of the nervous ‘shpilke’ ridden nature of Punk.” [$5 – DECEMBER 6, 2006]
