Patti Smith note

Patti Smith wrote an article for The New Yorker magazine about her performance for the Nobel ceremony. Amazing, I love her more every year.

She's the most honest
She's the most honest performer I've ever come across.
She also happens to be honestly great. A rock star of the truest & best meaning of that trite label.
If you haven't seen her you better put her on the top of your bucket list.
Personally I passed up on her many times before finally going to a show about ten years ago.
I've never missed one I can make since.
GO TO THE PATTI SMITH SHOW!!!

I have often wondered how vocalists manage to control their emotions to get through certain songs. I often get choked up singing along to the most seemingly innocuous lyrics, simply because of the memories that resonate with me, or the emotions the song triggers. In a way , that kind of composure is one of the vocalist/artists best skills.
I felt Patti's trepidation humanized her more, not less...

"Just Kids" is one of the finest books I have ever read. Very beautifully honest. I've been lucky enough to have seen her live 6 or 7 times, one of my all time favorite performers.

Just Kids was wonderful. What she witnessed, and participated in, was amazing.
Judit, if you don't know much of her music, listen to Banga, amazingly poetic.
