Happy birthday to Patti Smith. The Godmother of Punk turns 78 years old today. Photo by Jim Dyson / Getty - ThreadSky

Bruce Springsteen was so smart collaborating with Patti on "Because the Night" - she knocked it out of the ball park.

She literally knocked him out with a beer mug for pinching her on the ass at a PSG gig at Max's Kansas City in NYC circa, 1976.

gjahn.bsky.social•177 days ago

I could picture her doin' that

reply

crazyvlad.bsky.social•177 days ago

She and her brother Todd, would jump into the crowds at clubs to brawl with hecklers in the early days of the PSG. She wasn't the "Godmother of Punk" she was the personification of it.

Verlaine and her cover of "Hey Joe" in 1974 was perfect. She nailed Patty Hearst and that era w/ that one.

She was huge before she recorded "Because The Night". "Horses" in 1975 put the PSG on the map. That tune simply got them airplay.

I don't think it was a coincidence that they covered the Byrd's "Rock And Roll Star" on their next and final record as the PSG? It got airplay, too, lol. Patti married Fred Smith of MC5 fame that year,& had her 1st kid. AOR radio didn't know what to do w/ Punk. I got fired for playing The Ramones.

We saw her with her band in Iowa City in September. She was so great, happy and still rocks! Her band was amazing! Happy birthday Patti!

I guess I said because the night was written by Bruce Springsteen what I meant was he wrote the music Patti Smith wrote the lyrics.

(Heavily non-serious take incoming!)

Isn’t a long life a failure if you’re a punk rocker? Aren’t punk rockers supposed to choke on their own vomit before they have a single gray hair? Live fast, die young with both middle fingers raised?
