The "blank generation" came out of a moral vacuum. While punks roamed the suburban landscape, blue-collar workers were feeling the pinch of an economic revolution: human society had left the industrial age and entered the post-industrial age, the age in which services (such as software) prevail over manufacturing. Computers now rule the world, from Wall Street to Boeing. The assembly line took away a bit of the personality of the worker, but that was nothing: the new service- based economy takes away the worker completely, physically. In the post-industrial society the individual is even less of a "person". The individual is merely a cog in a huge organism of interconnected parts that works at the beat of a gigantic network of computers. This highly sophisticated economy treats the individual as a number, as a statistic. The goal is no longer to create a robot that behaves like a human being, but to create a human being that behaves like a robot: robots are efficient and lead to manageable and profitable businesses, whereas humans are inefficient and difficult to manage.

The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's Explores the Intersection of Jewish
For Release: October 2006 Contact: Sara Hoerdeman Publicity Manager Independent Publishers Group (312) 337-0747 ext. 236 [email protected] **digital cover image available** The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB’s explores the intersection of Jewish identity and punk rock **Jewish-owned punk landmark, CBGB, will close on October 1, 2006** CHICAGO: On October 1, 2006, CBGB will shut its doors for good. The little Lower East Side Jewish-owned club became the center of the New York City punk scene, and on the eve of its closing, a new book examines its role, and that of Jews in the punk movement. The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB’s: A Secret History of Jewish Punk (Chicago Review Press, October 2006) by Steven Lee Beeber delves into punk’s beginnings in New York City and discovers it to be the most Jewish of rock movements, both in makeup and attitude. The Heebie Jeebies at CBGB’s offers a fascinating mix of biography and cultural study that explores the lives of Jewish punks and creates an in-depth historical overview of the punk scene. In the early 1970s, from in and around New York, came a rag-tag assortment of young people. They came from a wide range of backgrounds, from comfortable and conservative middle class families to poor and immigrant origins, but despite their differences, they all had something burning inside. Fueled by the humor of Lenny --more-- Bruce—and more strongly influenced by their Jewish heritage than even they knew— they emerged, raw, ambitious and ready to rock, into the New York scene and changed music forever.
