I was a wierd teenager when Radio Ethiopia came out and it saved my life. I was probably the only person in Dallas Texas who listened to it. Still listening to it today.
Eh? They're flipping everywhere! Just go out and look at whichever social justice march comes next. Everyone's 'an artist', everyone's 'expressing' themselves and most of them are damned annoying ;)
One cool thing about Patti Smith is that besides being a great mind she seems to live by her words. She seems to be a great mom! Her sons seem balanced and happy people. She seems to be winning this game of life thing!
Wow have you seen a front woman reign over a group of men like this before? just captivated or silenced, EVER? Even once? I haven't. (And not in a library or auditorium etc)
Dang gurl, you're a force of nature. I am so glad Patti Smith is finally getting her due & being seen as a real originator of punk & everything that came after. It's a wonder to see the artist herself age while those early albums when you put them on still feel like they were just born yesterday. Patti Smith is a magical fearless monumental talent.
I love it that Patti causes so much controversy. At this stage of her career, and really throughout her life, she was constructed to drive authoritarians crazy. You find their almost incoherent comments over and over in this discussion. They fear her dissatisfaction with rigid ideology and all political systems that want to oppress their citizens Her secret, of course, which only comes out once or twice in this edgy interview, is that underneath she is such a sweetheart. Her best songs, like "People Have the Power", are idealistic, and she is always talking, even here, about God and religion. Even when struggling to break the chains of religious dogma ("Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine"), she is still thinking about God. Did she sometimes go too far? Of course. But if she hadn't, she wouldn't have been such a powerful artist.
Not so sure about "Mohammed's 7 heavens" though. Going to our nearest satellite the Moon actually *was* a big deal. Having no fear would shorten one's life considerably. Great line ofcourse "only thing to fear is fear itself".....Lots of unavoidable babble in streams of consciousness . Doesn't antimatter , she's great .
I just love Patti, she's so real and full of art! Luckily there was an ad in the back of Rolling Stone where you could send in her books of poetry and she'd send it back autographed! It was done before her mom had died. And I sent all of my books to her mom in NY and also what came back wsd a great 8x10 photo of Patti sitting on the couch autographed, too! Its on my wall with Sinéad in her priest uniform via Vanity Faire.
I have become obsessed with her. She is an icon, its so liberating to hear her strength, like a Lioness, fierce and kind, brave and thoughtful, deep and active. She is a perfect contradiction , an addition to our visions. Lighting touches our hearts.
She was the most amazing woman and she is still. She is the greatest woman of both 20th and 21st century. This is a real beauty. The most beautiful woman in the whole fuckin' world. Damn I'm so in love with her..
The guy sitting behind her is there to "spot" her with his hand on her back in case she might fall... also helping her with her jacket. She is so awesome!!!
It's funny how Patty at 3:08 half-takes her jacket off (which is actually pretty sexy without showing anything, in the way Gilda taking her glove off was sexy) and then 20 secs later she says "I don't try to seduce, I just do what I do" Oh but you are seducing Patty!
Fantastic Poet .... even back then looks like she's making it up as Shes going along much more likely she spent a lot of time crafting these great lines
Very interesting - a bit arrogant in her ideas - later she became more down to earth and emotional. But I listened to her first 4 albums for many years.... Still think they are masterpieces.
Such openness, such freedom of thought, such an original. No pretense here. She had no material advantages but her parents encouraged her to be free and unbound by the strictures of school, church, and society, a gift beyond measure. Her art reflects this. And forgive me but she just radiates a nonbinary sexuality that renders her desirable as hell. Thank you Patti- This world is a better place because you are in it.
@@davidabest7195 - At a wild guess, I would say that pacoiec believes the men are drooling because they find her attractive but I guess you'll have to wait for pacoiec to properly answer. Although, judging from how the men in the clip (who are mostly members of her band) are acting, it does seem that they do find her interesting at the very least, so that could be construed as them finding her attractive. ;-)
Its so rare to hear someone speak from the heart like she does.
She's such a natural, right? :)
just go visit a loony-bin sometime

@@seymorestuff235
Chrissie Swan is *very* annoyed by how you spell what kind of teenager you were ...
Honestly she sounds realllllllly not smart. Maybe she’s high
I really miss young people like her today. She's amazing.
I especially love her sincerity!
Eh? They're flipping everywhere! Just go out and look at whichever social justice march comes next. Everyone's 'an artist', everyone's 'expressing' themselves and most of them are damned annoying ;)
@@blackmore4 that's right - as annoying as Smith *still* is
for one thing: Smith *is not* 'young' today
blackmore4 fuckin christ, someone sounds a bit butthurt
How refreshing. True artist. The real thing.
Love, love love this woman and the way she thinks.
"art does not apologize"
Never
She's the coolest. Then and now.

"everytime you state dogma you're no longer liberated"
He seems to adore her doesn't he? I don't blame him. She has a mysticism to her which would wow a lot of men.
The look in her eyes and the way she sways and just exists is amazing. True icon
Who came here after Patti’s Jimmy Fallon interview last night
I’ve become obsessed, in a good way!
Me!
One of the most amazing women on the planet.
Well, they are all amazing you know
One of many. Majority are not in the spotlight.
Patti Smith is like a breath of fresh air.
"I like Bob Marley" what a great way to star a interview.
"I like pepperoni pizza" what a great way to retor a comment
And Blue Oyster Cult and Television! Good taste....
I like riding my bike
@@nowayout8773 me too!

Rose Redd That dude on the guitar was extremely fine for his time
@@joncampos5551 She had, and has a wonderful band. Bless 'em for recognising her uniqueness and letting her be who she is.
nice observation
She was sexy and had attitude, that what these guys fell forI guess - not her philosophy I'm afraid
What a weird sexist comment? Women are just as equal as men and thank god people don’t have your bigoted views
Dang gurl, you're a force of nature.

The sexiest woman to ever walk this planet
Hell Yeah
Maybe it's the 'drawing power' of being a natural (real) person! :)
amen
sure got that right : she was always taking sumthing off just to make the point : I don't have to take anything OFF to turn everyone ON
So true
I Love her as artist and this is phenomenal stream of consciousness.
Not so sure about "Mohammed's 7 heavens" though. Going to our nearest satellite the Moon actually *was* a big deal. Having no fear would shorten one's life considerably.

That is so cool!
she really just dropped that hard r and everything damn.

I have always loved your art and then i read " just kids" patti you are a brilliant writer you have so many gifts thankyou.
She was ahead of her bloody time and sadly still is. What a lady!
Such a true Rock Star And artist!! 2020!!! This was the year and Month I was born!!! It’s wonderful to listen hope people were back then!!!
she is cool as fuck
and still creating stuff thats fuckin' awesome ... almost as old God now + still performing
a 'fuck' is pretty heated in my experience
She's great..
She was the most amazing woman and she is still. She is the greatest woman of both 20th and 21st century. This is a real beauty. The most beautiful woman in the whole fuckin' world. Damn I'm so in love with her..
You might be gay dude?
Very rarely does one get to go through so many comments and only find LOVE. A diamond in the rough is Patti Smith. Credit to her fans.
The guy sitting behind her is there to "spot" her with his hand on her back in case she might fall... also helping her with her jacket. She is so awesome!!!
He looks like John Lennon
Its her husband!
@@fortunatoofamontillado1059 That is Lenny Kaye, he was in the band but they were not married.
Patti later got married to Fred Smith from the MC5.
"The Guy" is her Right Hand Man Lenny Kaye who she started the band with.
You rock! Thanks for posting this video!
I have just woken up
Watched this interview again
For the thousandth time
And now I am crying
I love her mind
It was beautiful
Radio Ethiopia is an EXCELLENT record!
Incredible BEAUTIFUL Woman!! 🔥 And that without any makeup!! Natural Beauty!!
"without any makeup".....she used very subtle mascara and foundation...2:34
No red lipstick and nail varnish ofcourse .
I love her, Brooklyn accent. And she's just awesome, very distinct looking, she's gorgeous, inside and out.
New Jersey accent
sixfootcorpse Patti is from Hawthorne, New Jersey. That is a North Jersey accent.
sixfootcorpse South Jersey accent
It’s called Anorexia.
@@back2vinyl493 - What, her accent?
This interview is one hell of a room to move in with a view throughout.
It's funny how Patty at 3:08 half-takes her jacket off (which is actually pretty sexy without showing anything, in the way Gilda taking her glove off was sexy) and then 20 secs later she says "I don't try to seduce, I just do what I do" Oh but you are seducing Patty!
She is showing us the t-shirt. Radio Ethiopia.
A true artist. I love her and her music. :)
1:57 I love the way Ivan just says "Hi Patti", it's so cute lol.
An amazing woman... Truly inspiring.
love the hair!
she speak from her hart..so rare..
Fantastic Poet .... even back then
looks like she's making it up as Shes going along
much more likely she spent a lot of time crafting these great lines
Please can we see more young artists like this on the Telly again. When did culture revert to being so puritanical?
she is fucking awesome
Always relevant to everyone
patti youre such an inspiration
Listening to her music is one thing but seeing her here just convinces me further that she's basically the coolest person ever!
She has been an excellent human being since young. Her upbringing contributed much, or so I believe. And, she has always been to the point.
Very interesting - a bit arrogant in her ideas - later she became more down to earth and emotional. But I listened to her first 4 albums for many years.... Still think they are masterpieces.
Very. the N word was unnecessary too
now my new obsession, after Joan Jett... Patti Smith
Joan Jett ?? PJ Harvey is more Her !!
@@Broatch6 . Sure !!
'76 was a good year: I saw Jett and Smith in the same year, though in different venues.
seems like great advice for any area of life. the creative spirit.
coherencia en todo su vida.... gracias!

What a beautiful soul.

She is just amazing.
Such a sweetheart! :)

Absolute Queen

magnifique personne!
She was fluid in motion...free flowing. Love her.
my idol
I love this women!!
Always loved her
can't bee without here
I love her
nice video, great
A very rare and unique being.
OVERWHELMING GENIUS (A Different KIND)…channeling the pioneers back to year One~E
Because she's fantastic :)
Patti is such a power house! Strong fine woman!
The men are just drooling...
I saw a rare public appearance of hers in '80--all she did was say a few words, but everyone there was her slave.
Why? She looks like a man tbh

;-)
Or maybe their just respectfully listening to an interesting woman speak?
Beyond beyond!!
I love her renditions of 'my generation'.
adoro a patti
I feel like all of the guys there are like into her, there all giving her to love eyes, especially the one behind her
This is nearly 45 years ago, and guys still dress the same in clubs.
Isn't that her kid?
Patti ❤️
que suerte que tuvo patti smith, igual se lo merece.
Such beautiful skin!
If 1960’s artistic youth rebellion could be summed up in one person
A true pioneer and badass
pure philosophy
Legend.
Wow, very heavy philosophy and beyond this Earth and its realm.
Each to his/her own!
this is the patti i remember.
so true :-)
yeah Patti
Its interesting to note the TRIANGLE with the EYE in it... even then LOL
Yep, from the eye of providence on the one dollar bill (since 1929)
❤💖
She is so cute here! And is who she is now’ then! X
The days
great high!
Wow!! I mean...Wow!
¡Maestra!
