The “Godmother of Punk,” Patti Smith, just had lunch at Da Silvano’s in New York. It was way back in 1976 that she first appeared on Saturday Night Live and nothing was the same after that. She was a punk goddess who retired to Detroit for years to raise a family and after her husband died she started performing again. She retains her spirit and style.

You get the old face you deserve.. HAHA! Stupid Communist *itch!
Do you suppose most of that would hose off?
Iggy Pop can’t really pull off the whole cross-dressing thing.
although most new yorkers don’t know it yet, folks…………..NEITHER DOES SHE!!
Janet, Patti Smith is hardly ‘godmother of punk’. Esther Wong is the ‘Godmother of Punk, She showcased acts like Oingo Boingo, the Police, X, the Ramones, the Motels, 20/20, the Knack, the Know, the Textones, the Go-Gos, the Plimsouls, the Nu-Kats, the Bus Boys, Plane English, the Naughty Sweeties and others at her club, Madame Wong’s. What an insult your Article is to the great Esther Wong.
Patti Smith is one of the greats, from a time when substance fed style, performers had integrity and intelligence, and the general public was interesting in ideas rather than lifestyle and labels. What happened to the world???
Patti smith is the end all be it all rock genious and a beautiful soul to boot. Whoever has a problem with her, go listen to Lady Gaga or some of the moment crap like that.
