PATTI KNOWS MEAnd here I thought I could quit my job after getting to play music with Ornette Coleman last year. Last night, during her second "Bowery Session," Patti Smith held up my cover story about her to the audience and read the cover of the magazine. Her label had printed it out along with her lyrics to give her some inspiration. It was one of those, "Wait, is this really happening?" moments. She went on to play "Free Money," one of my favorite songs on Horses as well as a touching cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." I don't normally do gushy posts like this, so thanks for reading, but it totally took me off-guard.
