Patti Smith

Gloria

I said it once here, and I'll say it again, Patti Smith is THE QUEEN of every punk, indie, underground music scene to develop of the 60/70s retro-movement.....she was and still is a blinding light in a otherwise blur of mediocrity......I won't risk the ire of the MOG community by actually naming names, but suffice it to say that the unrepentant courage exhibited by Patti is sorely missed in today's music: at least by me.

DISCLAIMER: THE TITLE IS A LYRIC FROM THE VERSE OF THE SONG GLORIA AND THATS ALL!!!!!!!

1234chainsaw says Hear hear where, Pimp? Every punk/indie/underground music scene to develop...? It's not to belittle or dismiss Smith's considerable accomplishments to say that this statement sounds much too strong.

fairportfan says Ennuiikiller, c'est ca se? Patti is one of the Big Dogs, surely. And i've used that line from time to time as a title, myself. And the Greatest Rock'N'Roll Band Inna Whole Flippin Wrld took it's namefrom a play she helped Sam Shepherd write... And she may be the Queen - but then there's Joan Jett. And before her there were Ray Davies and Lou Reed... And at about the same time as her, there was Joey Ramone, and there was Iggy Pop... And a little later there was Blondie (*and* Debbie Harry)... It's all a continuum, and, as Robert Heinlein (and others before him) remarked - "When it's railroad time, someone invents railroads." And "*Isambard Kingdom Brunel*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isambard_Kingdom_Brunel may have been the greatest engineer of the 19th Century ... but the standard gauge was taken from "*George Stephenson's*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephenson locomotives.

debi says Took my daughter to see Patti Smith in San Francisco at the Fillmore two years ago. (we're NY'ers..so was a GREAT trip). Patti was as amazing that night as she was when I was first heard her music 30 years ago. She was chosen to play the closing night at CBGBs..unfortunately I didn't get to - but did find the concert online to download (so almost as good as being there) - http://mog.com/music/Patti_Smith Wish I could say my 20 yr old appreciated her music as much as I did..but she did at least enjoy the Fillmore! desire is hunger is the fire I breathe ....love is a banquet on which we feed

redmiller1 says Patti Smith is quite a poet. I saw her live back in '75 at the Jazz Workshop in Boston. The Jazz Workshop was a very small club on Boylston Street with low drop ceilings. Patti performed most of the songs on Horses, and I recall she had John Cale of the Velvet Underground on bass. At the end of the evening, Mr. Cale finished by smashing his bass through the drop ceilings. It was a very memorable evening. Thanks for bringing it back.

kristiana says ditto to you ennuikiller - thanks for posting about the rock of rocking women! This is a monarchy I can get behind. Patti is brilliant all around.
