Patti


Not much to say except that I like this picture of Patti Smith.  I'm not terribly fond of her poetry, much of it is vulgar and with all of the words we have in the English language I see no reason to be vulgar in poetry or any form of artistic expression.  I guess it's her refusal to let anyone dictate what she can say or think or do, which is admirable to an extent, but taken too far it becomes trite, childish and annoying.  At the same time, I respect her for her ideas about feminine beauty and for resisting the pressure to fit and fall into the pit of societies definition of physical beauty.  I do see a superior type of beauty in Patti.
