John Robb talks to Patti Smith

UK writer/musician John Robb Patti Smith recently spoke with Patti Smith at the Sheffield Library Museum. Hopefully there will be some sort of transcription or recording made available at some point.

"At one moment she wells up, the next she is hilarious, the next she speaks with a powerful wisdom that so few of her male counterparts have managed in a similar timespan. I sit there and realise that I am talking to the very core- the very epicentre of where rock n roll and poetry, emotion and art clashes- it’s powerful stuff, the dark magic that is at the heart of what makes rock n roll so great- this is the very place and she is do damn modest with it."
