God is Good. Joey might be better.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen…

It is true that my iPod is currently playing a sappy Supertramp song (I didn’t download it, someone put it there, I swear this is the truth – the song in question is Take It on the Run) but my heart remains with Joey Ramone. (I Want Him Around. I want him a-ro-OUND…)

Imagine my joy when today at the New Haven Free Public Library I stumbled on a book I ought to’ve already known about, but didn’t: The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB’s: A Secret History of Jewish Punk by Steven Lee Beeber.

Thank god someone wrote this book. I hope it’s good. If it isn’t I may have to kill myself.
