Patti Smith: Show Preview
Is there anything new to be said about the godmother of punk?
Patti Smith has pretty much done it all over the course of her 35 years as the coolest lady in the music business, continuing to set the bar for counterculture awesomeness well into her 60s. Most recently, the woman who famously sang "Jesus died for somebody's sins / but not mine" played a Christmas concert at the Vatican, then zipped back to New York to play Webster Hall, where R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe came out of hiding to open for her, as a 68th birthday present. This show could pack a surprise or two as well.
