Huffington Post Reviews New Patti Smith Book
The piece reads: “Don’t worry, Patti. Not only am I ordering my own copy of Just Kids today, but I’m also sending one to each of my daughters.
It’s important for them to read this record of your and Robert’s life as artists growing up together and of this transforming crack of time in NY when young women and men came to our greatest American city and soared like eagles in the sky before flying too close to the sun, burning their wings, and falling to the earth dying or dead.
A generation of genius lost…not forgotten.”

Patti Smith is always interesting. I saw her as a youngster in 1975 in New Paltz, NY. Nothing’s been the same since.
