(Patti Smith (Steven Sebring))

The "godmother of punk" started out in 1970s New York. But in "Dream of Life," a new POV documentary airing on PBS, Patti Smith shows sides of herself that the public rarely gets to see. Smith tells Kurt that it's also an account of how she rebuilt her life after losing several loved ones.

Patti Smith always reveals something further about herself and her art. I especially love what Patti shared about Michael Stipe and their friendship. Its very special to know of and to smile for.

Peace and Happy Holidays Patti,
Ed

As much as I admire P Smith, her angst, and her totally cool perspective, I don't want to
dwell on the pain anymore. I crave JOY, lightness of being, and youthful rebellion.
