i love this woman - she's really taken her music to a different place with her activist voice.....
the live 8 people are irrelevant, THIS is real activist music. |

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

what's boring? activist music? i agree,it's
horrible term as it conjures up images of staight long hair and dorm rooms and cheap acoustic guitars inane lyrics...
but patti brings that punk edge to it and she knows her shit.
besides, fred's death gave her a sense of duty -
a fire and passion for injustice......
her message is visceral. |

She just makes good music. I don't like her preaching but she plays rock 'n roll straight from the heart. If you think that's boring than stick to the Bay City Rollers. |

only someone who has not listened to Patti would declare her "boring"...you might not like her, but to use the characterization "boring" is just plain ignorant |
|

plain stupid |

Boredom is subjective and isn't necessarily based upon lack of knowledge.

no, but it can be based on lack of .....taste?

Unless you want to pile subjectivy on subjectivity. Which is more or less like painting white over white. |

Is that truth that Patti tried to commit suicide but had second thoughts and decided not to do it to avoid missing the "next" Rolling Stones album?
|

I don't know, but I think she said that Dylan was Rimbaud "in a previous incarnation".
Dylan reportedly said: "I don't know if she's right or wrong, but Patti Smith, then, of course, knows a lot of deep details that I might not be aware of. She might be clued in to something that's a little beyond me. I know at least a dozen women who tell me they were the Queen of Sheba". |

white on white - well yes, the concept of subjectivity dilutes everything doesn't it?
patti said that jokingly...
she was talking about how much she loved the stones and said if she ever wanted to commit suicide - she wouldn't be able to because she would miss the next stones...
it's the little things that keep you going.....lol.

If this is true it must have happened in the seventies because afterwards it wasn't worth waiting on a Rolling Stones album..... |

I've seen Patti 3 times. She's great, but I could do without the poetry.  |

I've heard of that line before, but I got the impression she was taking the piss.
I note that Patti released no albums between 1979 and 1988 - an era which included Dirty Work and Undercover. So maybe she was closer to topping herself than we thought.
I do remember reading a feature written by her on the Stones (I think it was in David Dalton's "The First twenty years") where she quite graphically recalls that the first time she ever orgasmed was when she first saw the Stones on the Ed Sullivan Show ("my first drop of goo in my virgin panties").
T.M.I.

Patty is a very great artist. She said also that she wanted to do music after listening Stones' Satisfaction!
I like her phylosophy, she's engaged! I prefer her to Dylan who played for Pope Jean Paul II.
I compare her to Marianne Faithfull: two great artists. The Stones should take them as example! |

Patti included a photo of and a quote from his predecessor (J-P I) on the inner sleeve of "Wave".
Considering she was raised a Catholic and Dylan never has been one, I'm not so sure how radical her take on religion would be |

I read somewhere just recently that Bob called Patti and told her to get back out and play (during a long hiatus) because the people needed to hear her. I think she is the closest thing lyrically speaking to a female Bob, on some level anyway. Her work stands the test of time......out of mind. :-) I love Trampin'
We've never seen Patti live (yet) and hope she will be gracing us with shows this Fall, while Bob is out of the country touring and visiting with Gary.
FG you are the one who got me into Patti and I cannot thank you very much and very kindly enough!
peace out,
MM |

I didn't mean Patti Smith's music was boring. I was only referring to texile's post. I saw her in teh alte 70's at Wollman Rink in NYC & she was superb. As almost everyone else has said, I could do w/o the political rants. Shut up & sing, as the great lady says! |
