Patti Smith: An Illuminated Apprentice


While compiling my fourth Play List on The Temporary Blog last night I re-discovered the music of Patti Smith. This seems fitting as I have recently read her book, Just Kids, which was recommended to me last spring by Mrs. Neutron.

Funny how you can come to appreciate things later in life that you blithley overlooked at a younger age. Check out this 1978 interview with Tom Snyder where Patti says: "I'm more materialistic about my soul than I am about objects."

Until the End of the World never made the list, but it should have.

You cracked me up last week with one, with a George Carlin clip. But it wasnt Carlin that got me; it was the way you introduced it....Hi Nita!

Hi Steve! George Carlin has always been a favorite, along with Lenny Bruce.

Did you get that hole dug?

I finally gave up and filled it in. I never did uncover the pipe but I got down about 3 feet or so and never found evidence of a leak. The hole was completely dry after waiting overnight.

I love the song Dark Eyes. from one of Dylans weirdest albums. I call it his Disco Album.
