Patti Smith, 1976
Post-script: I realized that March 23, 2006 marked the 10th anniversary of both the first time I met Michael Stipe and the first time I saw Patti Smith live. I was just about to turn 17.

Many, many people saw this performance and it completely changed their lives. That includes a 16 year old Michael Stipe.

I actually just upgraded to a CD copy of Horses from a 10 year old cassette dub of the original vinyl, so I’m all about finding more Patti stuff now. Thanks!
