I've only recently discovered Patti Smith and she is such a breath of fresh air. I love her thoughtful intelligence and hard working optimistic nature.
Patti has the most beautiful and artistic hands...I love her complete commitment to her art without pretense and without any self consciousness. She is in total possession of her self.
M Train, is so wonderful! You feel Patti is embracing you and keeping you warm with every sentence...... Much love always Patti, ernie. I play alot of Easter on Piano. Finding that Music book was like finding GOLD!! Like finding YOU!! 🌻🌹🌷🌸💐🍄🌹🍀🎼🎹🎵🎶🌺☺😀🌞🌝
class and grace and beauty that goes deep in the person of Patti Smith. One of my favorite humans :) love her and thankful that I shared the same room with her on a few wonderful occasions...
She's truly one of a kind and a real iconoclast and real Auto didact and yet not a loner or an isolator. I was fortunate to see her and her band around 2008-2009 perform at a small venue in downtown Los Angeles and she did some poetry reading and then they played and they Rock for two and a half hours maybe three; it was incredible !! 🙏📚🤔☮️☯️✌️👁️👁️👂👍💕😻
I read a lot but try,, when possible, to get the audio books when it's an autobiography mostly because they are usually read by the author. This is the case with "M Train" Patti is always so authentic in every thing she writes and performs so it was a real treat to hear her read her own prose piece. There are some real emotional moments like when she talks about her husband's death and starting her career over again. She travels the world to perform and give readings. She moves to Coney Island just before Supertorm Sandy and her house in flooded. Just great emotional stuff on and on. A great book and a terrific lady.
I am her age, two days ago I found her. I'm thankful, she reminds me of me, except she is famous, I'm not, and her public creativity inspires me. Maybe periphal blindness is glaucoma, a narrowing.
I don't know who "Shad" is, but he's an excellent interviewer, one of the best I've ever seen. Nice to see such a skilled person paired with a great and giving artist.
Holy God! Patti Smith and CD 318 in the same room! Patti Smith has a way of intersecting the special things in this world. She believes in celebrating life -- living in connection with something great that we may not always understand completely. She talks about "proximity" -- hmmm...
I was lucky enough to meet Patti at the Snobby ICA in Boston in frigid cold waterfront cold 'Spoken Verse /Acoustic Setting 30 people tops showed great chilling night.I hung back as a FAN to get a CD Signed by her we ended up talking until Security told we are closing the Building you guys gotta go.She kept returning the focus on me .She handed me my CD and said 'Now I know Boston Tommy as we parted she said 'Bye Tommy' like I grew up with her.She is REAL.RockNRoll snobbery like music insiders get the 1st 3 rows of Concert Seats I saw it as a Stage Hand Casual Labor the cool people.Back stage with the Stones Bragging Rights PSG smashed that but fell off a stage during a concert at a skating rink laying her up opening the door for 'The Talking Heads etc got the credit.Met Peter Mac in 78 at Carly Simons Club.She waited till after Labor Day so MV Island locals could come not Studio 54 Clons.Peter Mac became Famous and killed shortly after.You may know him as Peter Tosh.Love both of these people I'm from New Bedford Waterfront but as a kid was part of the Black Panther Party that had a major chapter in my city.Peter thought he struck gold meeting someone so close to that he really asked many things,I remember he was mad at a guy called Bobby Marley and felt Mick Jagger spends more money on make up than Trench Town has to spend on Food.HE WAS NOT FAMOUS WHEN I MET HIM I'M NOT A COOL DRESS IN BLACK HOPELESSLY HIP MUSIC INSIDERS Power to the People

Zero pretense, absolutely remarkable woman
We have so few of these angels to remind us of the deeper truths.
A good soul. A healthy soul.
One word for Patti Smith...A M A Z I N G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an "icon"---"reflecting the Divine within herself and sharing it with the world."

This is my new inspiration. Can't wait to get "M Train."
Alison!, this book for the most part is like a warm quilt that Patti puts around you. I cried at certain passages. So so wonderful and heartfelt!! ☺
Get it done first thing in the morning.....then it's done......it can't be put off until tomorrow.......clever woman Patti Smith !!.

Patti Smith is a literary artist and Shad is an interviewing artist.
It’s called honesty, something of a lost art.
She just shines from within!
Great interview Tom Power of one of America's true gems.

Fan of dharma bums?

"we need to daydream more"....... so true
I don't know who "Shad" is, but he's an excellent interviewer, one of the best I've ever seen. Nice to see such a skilled person paired with a great and giving artist.
I don’t know anybody so kind like her. Famous or not famous.

you are like a modern day George Sand.
Could Patty speak on Leonard Cohen life.
Glenn Goulds, piana LOL
so we are just going to ignore how she has a whole song where she sings the nword why not ask her why she made a song like that🤔
" We're getting tunnel vision "
So what? All she does is compliment herself.
