prepared for just how great the Patti Smith show was going to be. I mean, I know she’s an important historical figure, and still very vital and all that. But I was amazed at how legitimate a punk she still is (very, most should take lessons), and how un-poseurish her art-rock-chick thing is. There’s nothing nostalgic about a Patti Smith show – it’s happening right now. Note: only about three people in the world could open a rock show with an extended Ginsberg quote and not look completely foolish.
