    Check out the full, extended interview with Patti Smith.
    More than any rock star, Patti embodies that dynamic - maybe you've felt it yourself... the need to break away and rediscover yourself. Growing up in South Jersey, Patti toiled in a factory job, read poetry, and plotted her escape. In New York, she became a poet herself... and when that poetry was put to music - minds were blown. Once she'd given rock & roll the shot of adrenaline it needed, Patti retired to the suburbs to raise a family with her husband, the late Fred 'Sonic' Smith from the mighty MC5. Now back in New York - and touring the world with her most recent album 'Banga' - Patti is far from retiring: her many projects include a mystery novel, a film, a screenplay, plus another book - the follow-up to 'Just Kids'. Plus there's 'Patti Smith: Camera Solo' - an exhibit of her own photography and installation work, a rare glimpse into Patti's personal world - on display in Canada for the first time at the Art Gallery of Ontario, February 9-May 19, 2013.
    George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight airs Weeknights at 7 PM on CBC Television

    I have learned from Patti to not be self-conscious and not to let ANYONE intimidate me. Do not roll over in bed with mortification or embarassment. She tells us to be brave and to trust our instincts. She truly is divine and she makes our lives more meaningful. She is life-affirming.

    What’s remarkable about her for a punk rocker who’s produced such profound literary works is how she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She radiates the joy & humor of an 80s hair band & the humble self-possession of authenticity, and the perfect imperfection of a saint. Can’t think of another figure that packs so many contradictory virtues in such a little package. A national treasure, she is.

      She has always looked like that. She was the first American woman I ever saw to not shave her armpits and show it on an album cover but that is just who she is. Right brain people aren't as superficial and worried about appearances. I used to worry a lot more about things like that than I do now. As we get older and lose everyone we love as she has lost many people, it causes a person to become more real.

    1 of the most genuine people of "MY GENERATION " - she's the high punk priestess poet - a true iconoclast & autodidact ; a unique soul.
    I was thankfully fortunate to see her & her band (in later yrs.) at a small DTLA
    venue circa '08-'09. Blew us away with pure rock energy & her writing, music; what an incredible performance. No nostalgic, 'remember us' act - fresh, energetic, new; she could've been in her 20s-30s still w/ the hunger & fire of something to prove ; like The Who or Neil Young
    No oldies novelty act at all! I'm so grateful I got to see her live - she had a fantastic poetry reading segment too !! I really didn't get fully hip to her till I was a little older - knew who she was in the '70s, but didn't immerse til
    the later '80s & '90s ; I was kinda like that with Dylan & Leonard Cohen too....saw em all Live at least once or more !!

    but a frigging unique and culturally significant rock band might be the best thing-one that shoots an energy up your spine

They talked a little about yes, i just wish people could be a little more interested in the person she is today as well, not just the huge 70's icon. Anyway, Patti is an angel.

I love that after her "success" at the 1st poetry project, she looked to Crazy Horses philosophy, not to take the spoils in battle. In other words, it came to easy, and she felt she hadnt struggled hard enough. Thank God she waited.
