- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2013
- 70 intense minutes with Patti Smith from the Louisiana Literature festival in Denmark 2012. "I thought we didn't have to grow up. I was heart broken to find out that we didn't have a choice." Patti Smith is still running wild, staying young at heart.
"We contain multitudes" begins Smith in this interview about her many different energies and ways of expressing herself. She goes on to demonstrate this: Reading from her book 'Woolgathering' (1992), talking about spirituality and prayer and how we all have creative impulses. Patti Smith also performs 'Fire of Unknown Origin', talks about her big love Robert Mapplethorpe, about inspiration, writing and art, and reads from her book 'Just Kids' (2010). Finally Patti Smith offers advice to the young, and talks about the world today, the power of the people: "All the young people are pioneers of the new time" she says.
Patti Smith (b.1946) is an award-winning American punk rock musician, poet and visual artist, who became a highly influential figure in the New York City punk rock scene with her debut album ‘Horses’ in 1975. Smith fuses rock and poetry in her work, and has been dubbed the ”punk poet laureate” as well as ”the godmother of punk.” In 2007 she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 2010 Rolling Stone magazine put her on the 47th place of their list of 100 Greatest Artists. Among her many albums are ’Horses’ (1975), ’Radio Ethiopia’ (1976), ’Easter’ (1978), ’Gone Again’ (1996) and ’Banga’ (2012). Smith is also the author of several books, including ’Woolgathering’ (1992), ’Just Kids’ (2010) - which won the National Book Award and describes her relationship to her lover and friend, photographer Robert Mapplethorpe - and ’M Train’ (2015).

I am 64 years old and when I hear her speak, it make feel young and eager to learn her wisdom
So few people could just sit there and talk to a crowd of people the way she does it. Its magical to just watch online.
+River Rat Agreed..."magical" is a perfect word for it!
I read her book "Just Kids" in one day, I couldn't stop reading it! I have never done that before, because I'm a slow reader!
I LOVE PATTI SMITH
@@jimmyjoejeeter2366 She has a book of photography released this month of November. Book of Days
Some people just make you feel so damn lucky to be alive.
She really is a very special person
Oh Dear God, she speaks like a wise and golden angel. If we could follow her advice, none of us would ever be "depressed" again.
I like how’s she’s not trying to “be” anything, that she’s just herself, not concerned with how the world perceives her just like Bob Dylan-it’s what makes them great.
The beautiful reading about her dog and sister was so touching...made me cry...
+Sharon Blackwell I thought so, too. She made me think about my own experiences as a child and my pets. I was disappointed that the interviewer did not pursue discussing her reading. If you look at him and his movements right after she stops reading, he is not effected at all. And so just immediately starts off on a separate subject. It was almost jarring for me!
darkmaitri to be fair it’d be a sensitive topic she said she almost teared up reading it I would want someone to keep asking me about such a topic have some decency we’re humans not robots
I cried too. My beloved miniature Australian Shepherd who taught me how to love passed away early in the morning on Christmas Day. We had been together for 15 years. I have been depressed since, but I have found a shelter dog a few months ago. Patti knows hurt and love. I have met her.
What she said about our world in 2012 holds true today in 2022. Patti is inspiring and true to her values. I smiled, laughed & cried
I am in awe of this woman; this person; this very special living individual... some people just got ' it ' whatever that is, and she's got so much of this ' it '. I wish I had her vocabulary and I might be able to explain better what I feel in her presence, and I am not EVEN THERE at the festival.
I keep coming back to this year after year. Just saw Patti Smith group live, one of best days of my life. What a beautiful soul, what a beautiful artist. Gift to us all.
The beautiful reading about her dog, touched me deep inside.
endeneux It broke my heart and was very touching. Animals are our most precious treasures in this world.
I cried as Patti read about Bambi, the loss is unbearable ... 37 years ago my spirit dog died. She comes to be so often in dreams .... LOVE you Patti and Bambi (and Noki, my dog)
the opening story about Bambi has me in tears
I swear I’m going soft cause that shit had me in tears too
Adam Lewis me too
My first dog was a beautiful girl.
I knew her from birth, she belonged to a dear friend, who died much to young.
We took her home without a doubt, although our landlord didn't allow any animals.
She was an angel and even took the heart of our landlord in a minute.
I worked as a nurse in a retirement home at this time and was allowed to bring her with me .
Our patients loved her so much. She always knew who felt sad, and lonely or was in pain.
She lay down by their side and comforted them.
She died in 2012. I'll never forget her
This interview is so precious. Patti Smith is a legend. Thank you so much for uploading this for everyone to watch!
Patti comes across so grounded and unpretentious,, it's so refreshing !
Such an inspiring woman, really enjoyed the interview 👍
when I was very young william boroughs told me... what a sentence to be able to say...
I could listen to Patti for ever. I'd never want it to end. Where can I get more of this?
In Soundcloud New York Public Library has two podcasts with Patti, Paul Hodengraber interviewing her. They are awesome.
God bless Bambi. She is a special dog indeed. You are so special Patti Smith. I cried like a baby when you told that beautiful story of Bambi. PATTI SMITH ROCKS!
Anytime someone is confident and secure in their thoughts, insightful by their nature, someone will almost always claim they're "pretentious" or "full of themselves". I love Patti's way of expression. Rock on Patti.
People are afraid of being human and feeling things. Especially now. It involves them being vulnerable and open. So when someone is assured in their feelings and thinking, People confuse that genuine-ness with fake-ness, because they themselves can't seem to find or come to know and understand themselves. That's why Sarcasm and Memes are so popular, it's deflection from what's real. People can't handle Truth.
I disagree. For example in this case, nobody could say Patti is pretentious, because she is so humble, it is impossible. I believe being humble is part of being confident too. Pretentious people might pretend they are confident by showing out, however someone confident does not need to pretend anything.
wow Patti. So many frequencies.
My sisters astonished blue eyes dominated her compassionate face. wow what a line thats some writing right there!
There are some incarnate souls that are meant /destined to be a Light for the world. Patti clearly is such a Light.
I just love Patti, she is so calming to watch. I see bits of her myself, especially the Peter Pan part. Shes so inspirational, deep, wise, funny, intelligent, and sweet but still a badass poet/singer songwriter/author/artist ! there'll never be another Patti Smith !!!
marvelous. soothing. I could listen to her all day.
Listening to this woman makes you like her/love her. And I like the danish accent of the interviewer wen he speaks English.
One of the most important persons to inspire my life
Love Patti. Redefine value. Redefine woman. Redefine art.
Loved this. She is true inspiration . Very funny, very moving. A gifted writer.
I love Patti Smith. She is wonderful. So honest so human. No artifice. I cried at her story about little Bambi. She is a true inspiration.
The Bambi story is a heartbreaker. ❤️
Best poet! A living legend! Thank you Patti for inspiring me everyday!
Patti looks great. Living like Peter Pan has worked for her. A very nice interview.
Patti is such a warm soul!
Patti Smith-a Wise Woman.Keep writing Patti-You still have alot left to say.
This brilliant artist is still my inspiration. I love you Patti...
Me too! awesome commitment to Self.
She is very validating.
+Abigail Rudner (RUDNERevolution) Very Present.
Yes, Patti, so many people have read it. I live in Dublin, Ireland and I have been mesmerized by Just Kids over the past few weeks reading it. I once visited an exhibition of Robert's in Paris, and loved it. And 'Because the Night' is probably the only song of yours that I have known. Looking forward to checking out all your work now. Congrats and keep up the good work!
I also have always loved the song 'Because the Night.' I never knew who wrote/sang it. A few years back, I read her memoir, "Just Kids". OMG...I've always loved memoirs but hers opened up a whole new world. I, too, will check out everything she has created.
I love the way Patti reads! It's so great! It is mesmerizing to listen to her. :)
tall32guy I listen to her audiobooks when I'm uptight or sad, her voice soothes me and grounds me again. Actually I listen to them when I'm happy too, I love her voice and what she has to say.
Listen to "Just Kids" on audio, she reads the book!
God i love patti Smith there will never be another like her
This whole interview is essential
omg the story of her dog is so heart bracking ,as im sitting next to my bamby like dog wow !!!1
Incredible how she fell in love with the image of Rimbaud and then Mapelt
Oh sister, my dog mama! What a beautiful reading.
thanks for existing Louisiana channel and democratizing art and culture (y)
One beautiful human being.
Thank you
Great storyteller who keeps the flow of words streaming
I always want to know more
What a treat
I lived in Woodbury. Patti was only 2 min from my house where I grew up. She was in Deptford but the neighborhood was called Woodbury Gardens.Right by the Ho Down Hall. I am proud that she lived by me.
Patti's mother, Beverly, and my mother, Judy were very close friends. They hung around together with another woman from the area, named Ruth Smith. I was born and raised in South Jersey and grew up across the tracks from where Patti's family moved to. I didn't meet her until I went to see her perform in the 70's at a club in Philadelphia with my mom, her mom, & Ruth. She sang songs from her Horses album that night. We went to her dressing room after her performance and visited with her. She has a very beautiful heart~

Wow! I’m not big fan of “we can change the world together”, but when she says that I believe!
WOW talk about inspiring!!! She has this way of offering new perspectives and insights (on pretty much everything) that are so uplifting and wonderful. She had me both laughing and crying but mostly just listening intently to everything she was saying. Awesome interview!
shes so much like a child, haha, as she said! but I can sense how spiritually developed she is, makes me feel so great. There's such an amazing beauty that glows from her.
I'm 62 years old, have had three husbands that died of AIDS, and another older husband that died of old age, stayed with them all until the bitter end, and what she said is true: It's worth it! Just don't forget the LOVE, that's what makes it worth it!
❤
I appreciate your through and your naive, and your strongest personality, you are very unique
Inspiring.
This interview is so inspirqtional for me. I come back to it over and over again in the past years and I will always come back to it.

The power of the spoken word = priceless.
I love Patti. And I've listened to many accounts about her writing - poems, memoirs - all important and very interesting. Why does no one ask her about her musical performances?
Beautiful hits home to me .
Patti , I am crying for you and BAMBI this very second. so Godly sad i can not tell you how much this BAMBI hit me so hard I am so very sorry for you little patti and I know ,for I know about this for BAMBI is within your heart forever and in saying so there is a never never land and you and bambi are lying in a beautiful meadow near the lost boys under ground home. Captain hook can't touch you for you both for you and Bambi have much acorn hearts of gold. In fact Patti I wrote a story about Bambi and I call you Patti blue mittens in the story. I am so truly moved Patti.

ALLI TAMBIEN ELLA ESTA
DANDONOS POESIA D ESTA VIDA !!!
GRANDIOSO * GRACIAS
OSVALDO FORCINITI
BS AS ARGENTINA
Soulful💕
Love her
Patti was initially accurate in her early assessment of Warhol. She has become kinder in her more recent estimation of his artistic contribution to our culture. I agree with her that a great artist should not mirror the culture around them but should provide a means of transcending it. Warhol was overly consumed with the world of celebrities and was intent on becoming one. (Read his diaries and you will see very clearly his limited ability to envision a greater perspective.)
Well yeah i can see your point, but artists don't always see the depth of their work, the art itself trancends the artists meaning and can mean something completly different to the viewer years down the line
she's such a badass genuine bombshell. now that is a role model
True most musicians act like they don't even want to spend the time with a crowd of people and share their life with them.
Love her.
Patti is so natural love to be her friend x
EU AMO ESSA MULHERR
Beautiful and heartbreaking.
God bless!
My name is Tink... I have seen Patti many times. I love her for everything she is and she is many things.
Oh my God I love all of our girls just alittle bit more ...now...our puppy girls mommy and daddy will always love you...and we miss you Sammy,Misty Ginger Winnie ...God
Takk !!
I love this interview.
Patti Smith is brilliant as always.
Christian Lund's Danish accent is really cute... ❤
I remember that Pig Farm from the late 60's early 70's it stunk to high heaven
Oh man! ❤️🩹💔
🖤
♥️
"Don't take anything from strangers, they always want something in return, especially if they're men!".
Well, her mother was absolutely right ... 🤣
💟💜
