It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

I can't believe this dork mpjhny ! Are you kidding! shallow dude.. Patti Smith is more beautiful because she is the real deal! And dosen't think about fitting into a stupid pretty mold! A real artist!
YO! mpjhny:............. If you want some f**king kind of model to look at while she sings, try out the crap of commercial country, JACKASS. You're mom sure must be proud.
It's interesting that Mr. Huey feels obligated to write about all of the people Ms. Smith has slept with. He doesn't do that for male artists.

I had just moved to Denver back in the summer of 1975 when she was recording Horses at Electric Lady studios. I didn't have hardly any money so I would just prowl around the different record shops and listen to the music that they played to help promote record sales as a free form of entertainment. One day in early fall, one of those record shops dropped a needle down on Horses and I remember saying to myself, whoa, that doesn't sound like the version of Gloria from my youth! Then I walked ov
In this screwed-up, superficial country, imagine how famous (read big) Patti & the band would be if she looked like these artists of the past few decades. (Are you listening Katy Perry?) ...So very sad. So, where's the poetic justice?!
Springsteen did the same for Warren Zevon. He wrote "Jeannie Need a Shooter" and knew Zevon was right for it. Don't know if any money was exchanged. Class act!

I agree with Dave: Yep. I saw an interview with the Boss. He said he gave her the song. Didn't say anything about dough. He wrote it, then decided she would be the best person to deliver. That's a real songwriter.
Imagine the world without the Patti Smith Group? It would have been such a crime for our society to not have received what this group gave us. ...and if you haven't heard Piss Factory then find it. Too bad that didn't end up on any of their commercial releases.

Love "Rock n Roll N**ger". This is superficial but...she has some of the darkest, most mesmerizing blue eyes I have ever seen.

An informative retrospective of an amazing artist and career. However, I don't think describing "Because The Night" as a collaboration with Bruce Springsteen is a completely correct statement. I have read many reputable sources that all agree Bruce wrote that great tune on his own and gave it to Patti with no expected financial return.
Patti Smith is probably one of the most under rated artist in music. I have allways liked her no holds bar style.She tells it like it is. In this day of bull s**t right wing reactionary politics she has never ben afraid to go against the grain to say what she thinks. I like that.
One of my all-time greatest concert (and post-concert) experiences. I'll always love Patti Smith. I'll never forget the night she came onto the Orpheum stage (Boston) after doing a rainy, outdoor, afternoon show at another venue, and offering to buy back tickets from anybody worried that she wouldn't give her best performance. Nobody came forward, and she actually played clarinet for us during the intermission. She's always been the real thing - Rock Goddess and poet.

One of the most explosive shows I have ever been to. Came out wrapped in U.S. flag and opened w/Jesus died for somebody's.. . . . . Band kicked into high gear with Gloria and the place went nuts. To this day, one of the best shows I have ever been to. Still have Horses and Easter on Vinyl.
Funny about the Depressed comment. To me she remains one of the most untainted idealist, and yet she is radically real something I have not found in great supply

I moved to New York in 1979...had the good fortune to see Patti play in Central Park in support of Wave. It was raining very heavily and everyone popped up their umbrellas except my brother and I who wore old fashioned rain coats. While it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, my emotional memory of her was that she seemed vulnerable. Subsequently, as she's returned to music & I've seen her 4 times since, in her grief, she was magnificently strong/full of warmth - like a punk earth mother

I was a fortunate child. At 6, I knew every song on Horses when we (my parents and I) went to see Patti Smith at Curtis Hixon Hall. Yes, I was there when she spun off the stage. Some of my happiest childhood memories are dancing around with my Mom or playing backgammon with my Dad while listening to Patti Smith. I'm no musician. I'm no poet. But because of Patti Smith, I'm not afraid to write or speak or dance or play because "in heart, I'm an American Artist...I have not sold myself to God."
Patti is the female version of Jim Morrison! a lil' Sid too, an angst cramp style voice, she sings with morbid energy that raised many a eye brow - who needs to be still when the world is wasting away - Patti is the voice of the depressed - the lost - the throw away society.
I can't believe no one has placed a comment for such a great artist like Patti Smith!
Well, all I can say that she is just inspirational - a true Artist.
