At 53 .. strong mind, I've never had an idol in my life and I knew the Shaman Patti Smith in name. And then I heard this CD by chance when it came out. Now I have all his records, I also read what she wrote, she looked painted and photographed, listened to what she said (thank you Internet, YouTube, etc.) and I wonder still if I get to hold up his next turn in France before going to see the US. Fortunately she returns every year or so ..
