Patti Smith

Patti Smith is 60 today. This of course gives me an excuse to post a number of videos of one of my favourite musicians... enjoy!



Dancing Barefoot



Horses



Privilege (Set me free)



People have the power

Interesting - quite a few major women singers were born in that period. My personal hang up is with Judy Henske - the least socially-minded of all. Go figure. But when she goes into the High Flying Bird...

I Love Dancing Barefoot - it plays with all the archytypes used to discredit women over the ages.

I am not familiar with Judy Henske Snoopy. I will see if I can find High Flying Bird and give it a listen.

Dancing Barefooot is probably my favourite Patti Smith song. I've always loved it, Pisces.

Now there's a thought Mullet. Can you imagine the streets of Paisley, Romofrd or wherever full of poets rather than (piss) artists!
