For St. Patrick's Day we went to the JP
Art Mart/Monumental Cupcakes place for a visit with Patti Smith.
It was an excellent experience..... a very small room with Patti set up in a corner
and all her books around her and some very nice black and white photos on the
walls. All for sale and I would say she raked in some dough that night, as well
she should.... her written word her imagery all her product is fabulous, and besides
she freaking Patti Smith one of those that changed the course of music
when we needed it most. Hearing Piss Factory is still an important memory for
me as is seeing her a few times.
She sportin' the scruffy look she has so
well cultivated but she seemed very nice, friendly but quiet. All I can say it
it must have been a strange experience to hear all of us gush at her and tell
her how much she meant to us while sitting there for two hours signing and signing
and signing our multitude of Patti 45's and albums and books. I am very glad I went and it
was fun to hang out on the street with Eric Law, Carmelita, Blowfish, Bret
Milano, as well as talk to strangers there too.
In case you haven't heard about this there's a new reality show on The
Travel Channel: Deathwish Movers, On the crew of Deathwish Movers (Boston
based moving company with an awesome name) are a few local musicians including
Keith Bennett who hails from the likes of Mung and Panszerbastard.....check
it out!!
Alrighty....for your listening pleasure my friends we have here a link to a new
song by our pal Johnny Angel! The song is entitled "As
Long As You Always Love Me"--it's different from, what we are u sed to from
Johnny....its mellow countrified....his singing, in particular though, reminds
me here of Willie DeVille, the music is excellent, these cats know how
to play no question!! And the lyrics are VERY Johnny Angel...he don't care what
the hell you do, as long as you love HIM!! And Johnny you know I 'll always love
you my dear! So my friends take al isten and here are the very impressive credits:,br>
