I think she's always been so, her entire life. Otherwise she couldn't be Patti Smith.

What would have been even better to play was her version of Gloria, clearly the best rock-and-roll song of all time.

Aye, Patti has been and continues to be one of the most influential voices in alt.rock – sometimes she's edgy, raw, cranky – definitely not for the mainstream listener. But even her oldest songs have aged so very well that I still like to listen to them with the volume yanked up (except maybe "Because the Night" – that one has been played to death by the mainstream radio gaga stations).

Now,  hush children and go back to play ... ;-)

I always appreciate a song with a social conscience (something about the Chinese invasion of Tibet, I think?), musically this song just does not appeal to me at all. In fact, I can't think of a Patti Smith song that really does. {#Ask}

  I have to agree with you there.  She's definitely not my cuppa.

I can completely identify with that sentiment.

1984 by Orwell?  Whoops, wrong medium.

Very relevant for today's protests against the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Patti's songs stay relevant, decade after decade. How funny that this followed up Natalie Merchant's totally lame and passionless "Because The Night."

Patti Smith could make an enervating Perry Como song exciting and ecstatic!

I know Patti Smith is harsh sounding but I think that\'s what I like about it - just hits me right!
