I have nothing but admiration for Patti Smith too. She's incredibly talented and has stayed true to herself throughout the years. While a lot of young girls are drawn to Courtney Love (the shallow, posturing side of rock) it's a real shame that they don't get into Patti Smith instead. She's the real deal.

She certainly is! I have been totally in awe of her since "Horses" came out- I saw her twice at LA's Roxy theater, gigs within 3 months of each other. She is so insanely intelligent, articulate and insightful, to say nothing of how much I love her music! She may not be a technically great singer but her voice has always cast such a spell over me.I also saw her a few years back at a convention, she came out and spoke and then later came out and sang with her band. When she did, a bunch of people (including me) ran up to the stage edge. I could have reached out and touched her feetShe is such an icon! I picked up yesterday's NY Times with her on the front page, just for the novelty of it- seemed like a dream!
