I'm sure this is plumbed in considerable depth in the pages below, but this is only partially a Patti Smith song. It's mostly a Springsteen composition. Still, IMHO this is the definitive almost-original-not-quite-a-cover rendition.

Like a small amount of Patti Smith. Very small. This one doesn't really make my list, sorry. Rather hear this version as apposed to Natalie Merchants attempt.

Dang! Bill is really on a roll this afternoon. Or whenever he put this playlist together. Anyhow...thanks for the reminder that yes, modern popular music can be really great. This is just another example, along with Nirvana, Gillian Welch, The National...on and on

Damn! Wish I could sing like her. Well, not *exactly* like her, but as a guy (a bass, in fact), but with her expression, passion, tonality, etc.

I love her passion, the intensity of the lyrics. Glad Bruce was involved, but give me Patti any day.

Got to see her at the Hop Farm Festival this year - Loved the shirt of hers I saw a guy wearing.  Front - "Jesus died for somebody's sins" Back - "not mine"

the book about her and Mapplethorpe was quite tender...just read it —i feel about her that she's a bit like Ginsberg in that she is famous and beloved for the person she is more than her work;in other words they are beloved for their bravery in being themselves.

 


The book "Just Kids" is a very good read. It reveals Patti to be a serious, multi-talented artist.
