In the 1970s the American poet, songwriter, singer, and visual artist blazed a trail for punk rock artists, especially women. Patti Smith earned herself such titles as “godmother of punk” and “punk’s poet laureate” with her androgynous appearance, intense live performances, and penchant for writing lyrics that often blend poetry with subversive themes, She retreated from public view in the 1980s but made a successful return to performing in the 1990s. Following her comeback, she has published several acclaimed memoirs about her life and career as one of rock’s most avant-garde artists. “I don’t want to be rich and famous. I want to be great.” “I’m for children. That is my number one concern.” “Have I earned all this adulation?” https://www.alainelkanninterviews.com/patti-smith Alain Elkann Interviews https://www.alainelkanninterviews.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/42121745/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/ea6c35/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/204198590
