Happy Birthday to the Queen of Punk!

I’m not really a musician. I’m a performer, and I love rock n’ roll. I’ve embraced rock n’ roll because it encompasses all the things I’m interested in: poetry, revolution, sexuality, political activism – all of these things can be found in rock n’ roll. ~ Patti Smith

All I’ve ever wanted, since I was a child, was to do something wonderful. ~ Patti Smith

I would rather write or record something great and have it overlooked than do mediocre work and have it be popular.  ~ Patti Smith

I am so grateful for Patti Smith!!
