Research paper
 

i been looking everywhere , but are all the sonic youth members jewish? and if not who are in the band.

i don't think any of them are. i know Thurston was raised Catholic; he and Kim had a traditional Catholic wedding.

steve shelley is the tiny king of the jews, a title he inherited from steve albini during the war of the land of chocolate. but that's before everything went downhill and count albini was born. steve keeps the title, but is non-practicing. lee (aka gorge w. humperdunk, but shhhh) is the prince of the jews, seeing as he oversees the land of chocolate's cia.

HUH

not "huh", but "WORD!"

i think you might be in the wrong message board-- did you mean the beastie boys? or pehaps the andy statman klezmer orchestra?

SY dedicated A Thousand Leaves to Allen Ginsberg, right? And wasn't Ginsberg jewish? GOOD GOD, MAN, THERE MOST BE SOMETHING MORE HERE!!

so what is the topic of your research paper exactly?

i thought lee was jewish or at least part jewish, are you allowed to say that anymore. im probably way off the mark here.........

Lee does look Jewish, but that's more because people of Italian decent often do. cf Arthur Fonzerelli from Happy Days, who played an Italian in the show but is, in fact, quite obviously Jewish when he's not being the Fonz.

These are all assumptions by the way. Surely Ranaldo is an Italian name, no? Or I suppose it could've come from anywhere in the warmer bits of Europe. Let's just say he's a handsome swine, and Jews, Italians, and everyone else are also handsome swines, shall we?

Isn't Jim O'rourke Jewish, no no he is catholic like Thurston.

O'Rourke is the least Jewish surname I've ever heard.

I'm 95% sure that Lee grew up in a very traditional Italian-American family. That makes it quite unlikely that he's Jewish. Of course, his mother could be Jewish. Italian-Jewish marriages are not unheard of. Then, you also have the movie "Life is Beautiful."

I know who all Jews are at all times and I can safely say that none of Sonic Youth are Jewish.

They call me 'The Rabbi'

Wow, lookee there; Professor Griff is in da house.

A female Rabbi? And who says that Judaism is stuck in the dark ages, eh? Good Jewdar that lady.

Anyone who says, 'Judaism is stuck in the Dark Ages' is stuck in the Dark Ages. Ironic, eh?

my theory is the only correct one. because it's all fact.

Ha. You win. Your dreidel and Woody Allen DVD are in the post.

Sucks to be Schizophrenic Room, dreidel is a crap game. Oh, and Woody Allen is shit.
