From the moment Patti Smith burst onto the scene, chanting 'Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine,' the irreverent opening line to Horses, her 1975 debut album, the punk movement had found its dissident intellectual voice. Yet outside the recording studioSmith has released eleven studio albumsthe punk poet laureate has been perhaps just as revelatory and rhapsodic in interviews, delivering offthecuff jeremiads that emboldened a generation of disaffected youth and imparting hardearned life lessons. With her characteristic blend of bohemian intellectualism, antiauthoritarian poetry, and unflagging optimism, Smith gave them hope in the transcendent power of art. Her interview archive serves as a compelling counternarrative to the albums and books. Initially, interviewing Patti Smith was a censorship liability. Contemptuous of staid rules of decorum, no one knew what she might say, whether they were getting the romantic, swooning for Lorca and Blake, or the firebrand with no respect for an onair sevensecond delay. Patti Smith on Patti Smith is a compendium of profound and reflective moments in the life of one of the most insightful and provocative artists working today.
