Patti Smith live at CBGB

#pattismith #70srock #80srock #90srock #cbgb #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Patti Smith shuts down the legendary music venue on October 15, 2006. The club closes after an extended dispute between club owner Hilly Kristal and the Bowery Residents…

🧵 3/3 When a city loses a venue, it loses part of its personality. Too often, the replacement is luxury flats or a generic shopping complex: profitable, perhaps, but incapable of producing the same local friction, risk or memory.

Patti Smith’s Twelve is a wonderfully unconventional set of covers, transforming classics by Hendrix, Dylan, Nirvana and more with her distinctive voice and poetic intensity. Not every reinvention hits the mark, but her fearless, raw approach makes this a compelling listen. #PattiSmith #NowPlaying

Patti Smith is a Feminist Pioneer. In a male-dominated rock world, she wouldn’t conform to gender or commercial expectations… and inspired countless women in punk (and beyond) to do the same. "Because the Night" is Patti’s only US #Billboard #Top40 hit. #PattiSmith #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

No one who knows her work would call Patti Smith a sellout.

In the interview below, she makes a case for the joy of engaging others with your art and argues against the impoverished view of life and art that would think of an artist with a following as something inferior.

Patti Smith es mucho más que una leyenda del rock. Pan de ángeles y Tejiendo sueños muestran a una escritora marcada por la poesía, la memoria y la imaginación. Mi reseña: n9.cl/r9twxj @thisispattismith @LumenEdit #PattiSmith

Éramos unos niños, de Patti Smith, es memoria, poesía y crónica del Nueva York artístico que compartió con Robert Mapplethorpe. Un homenaje nacido de una promesa. Mi reseña: n9.cl/fycv4 @thisispattismith @LumenEdit #PattiSmith

Yes, artists need money to survive while they are creating. Yes, they're art benefits all of us. Please read the memoirs of #JohnLurie #debbieharry #pattismith on & on - there was a time in NYC when artists could scrape together rent and create, create, create - we need them as much as anything.
