Patti Smith is one of pop culture's true originals. The 1975
release of her debut album Horses signalled the start of a career
full of passionate commitment, abrupt gear changes and unlikely
collaborations which continues to flourish well into the 21st
century.Nick Johnstone, respected music journalist and long time
fan, unravels the story of the girl from Chicago who mixed poetry,
underground theatre, jazz and rock, and who played a key role in
shaping the New York punk scene of the mid-Seventies. From the home
town experimental poems through street performance in Paris to high
times in New York's Chelsea Hotel, from the quiet years in suburban
Detroit with husband Fred 'Sonic' to her ascension to iconic
status, the Patti Smith story is full of unexpected twists and
turns. Nick Johnstone makes fascinating sense of a complex creative
and produces a compelling insight into the life and times of a
woman who has always refused to compromise. Arthur Rimbaud, Robert
Mapplethorpe, Sam Shepherd and Bruce Springsteen are just a few who
have become associated with the Patti Smith legend. She has toured
with Bob Dylan, opened for the New York Dolls and duetted on record
with R.E.M., written songs for movies and still produces albums off
arresting originality.
