My mom went on and on about how good it was and one day we were in the car and Gloria came on and my mom was like, who is this? I said Patti freaking Smith! So yeah she won my mom over too with her writing.

She was dressed in army like fatigues and combat boots for a rather formal event (that won me over as I'm an overalls and flannel shirt kind of a girl) Humble but odd person. She was interested in designing an art program for visually impaired but never followed thru. Sad as I think she could have initiated a very interesting project.

Like many kids who grew up in the 'burbs, my musical tastes were shaped largely by what I heard on commercial radio (which was better then that it is now, but it didn't include Patti Smith, at least not that I recall). She is a gap in my cultural knowledge that I never quite filled.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-88573371103964633112015-11-17T07:31:29.673-08:002015-11-17T07:31:29.673-08:00I wish I were a Patti Smith person.
