With a career of over forty years behind, counting world successes as "Because the night","People have the power","Gloria","Ghost Dance"And many others, Patti Smith has also established itself as an intellectual and artistic myth, participating in various readings during the" hot "years of the Beat generation, publishing collections of poems and novels and analyzing the world through painting, photography and sculpture.
Each of his performances is full of energy, travails, emotions, experience, history: each of his words describes his life, his era. His poems later become songs, they tell of "Patricia"That tormented 20enne who moved to New York to discover her" I "and that after a tiring start, she began to mature and to realize coming into contact with" sacred "characters of the caliber of Andy Warhol, Sam Shepard, Lou Reed and Bob Dylan.
But her verses also express a lot of suffering coming from an existence that has spared her nothing and a lot anger emblem of a historical era in which female and political activism were dominant.
Thanks to her charisma, her excesses and her ideologies, Patti Smith today undoubtedly stands out as one of the undisputed symbols of rock, new-wave and post-rock. A real "Priestess" of art, a concentrate of the past, present and future, a piece of living history. Unmissable.
