warrior poet Patti has always been a mass of contradictions : grown up + girly, tough + fragile, strong + sweet, innocent + street-wise, otherworldly + human, the mirror and the light, this great generosity of spirit.
She's awesome. I've been a fan since my parents were listening to her in the 70s, and as I got older I learned to appreciate her work more and more. Her power is in her passion for honesty. She's an inspiration.
How wonderful to hear you read and tell stories. Your story telling is so captivating and evocative. I am a modern women (now a widow) one benifit is I can lie in bed with my laptop and listen to wonderful readings like yours. Thank you Also i am in a little girl band (not so girly) "The Mother Pluckers we call ourselves and we try to play your songs.. life is good at 59 and 3/4
Patti , you are strong and great woman, your poetry Is from sight as observer that site and looking on the hard live and the loved people beside you, so beautiful
Terrific reading. You've been an inspiration to me for many years now, and continue to be. I love your honesty. And that "travels" in your voice! Roy Bentley
than you so much for this video, I'm 21 and Patti has been my inspiration since less than a year...I felt in love with her poetry first and then her musics...she inspires me to write, I'll be very happy if one day I'll have half of her talent. I will see her for the first time next summer, in a concert in France, it will be a marvellous moment for me...I'm so impatient ! Yes Patti Smith you still touches people with your work and I'm so happy to have discovered yours...thank you thank you !! (sorry for my modest english, I'm french)
I've only recently started reading Patti Smith's books, maybe for a year, and I've never heard of "Woolgathering" before. I know what book just got added to my to-be-read list!
She is natural. She grew up surrounded by love of parents and siblings, I guess. That makes her who she is. If we have more of her, like billion, then human being is ok.
Robin Gibb had disseased, I feel so sorry for the man, is so sad, yeterday I saw a performance off him and he seemed quit allright and alive and well to me, how can this be?
I listened to Patti doing one of these readings & taking questions, a few days ago. She seemed to be rather condescending & mean towards a couple of people. One was a young kid wanting to expose his burgeoning music channel. She gave a sort of mean reply and shut him down. She did later on though seem to realise that she might have come across as rather unpleasant and made an effort to try and redeem herself, for want of a better description. Maybe it was a bad day for her, but I was disappointed with her somehow as it didn't resonate with her 'be kind & understanding' mantra. If I'd been that young kid, she'd have really made me feel like shit. The kid just wanted a mention by one of his heroines and it felt like she was belittling him almost?

Patti and Robin - two of my favourites :) RIP Robin, and how lucky we are to still have beautiful Patti

I love her laugh ❤. Teehee
She’s so amusing, looking like a kid trapped into an adult body
TAKE CARE 💜💚👣💜💚👣
Poor thing sounds a little tired and rough, and a little short. BUT she was still graceful, poetic, and great!

Woolgathering's witchcraft ... pure + simple ... Magic from a Sorceress
