Atlantic Monthly had their 150th anniversary party in New York this week and the crowd was eclectic. 70’s female punk icon Patti Smith entertained. (She was the druggy, boozy, anorexic rockstar Gilda Radner used to imitate on SNL) Here she is backstage getting ready to perform. She was sort of the Amy Winehouse of her day.
Was she doing drugs like AmyWhoreHouse Janet?
Why are you selling rat piss as breath freshener?
Who cares about these old hag dopers!
You people are pathetic–and incredibly rude. “Hollywood” isn’t just about (or for) twenty-somethings. Expand your horizons! And if you don’t like Janet’s content, go elsewhere and quit excoriating her for having tastes that differ from yours.
Keep up the good work, Janet!!
Agree with 1:09 p.m. And, 11:46 a.m. — what the hell is your problem? Stop posting on every story. Go hang out on Perez’s site with the other nimwits who write “first” 50 times.
Janet, you know I love you and I think you are the best. But I take umbridge at the Amy Winhouse reference. Patti was Bob Dylan’s protoge’, her musicianship is flawless and she a for sure withstood the test of time and the test of success after success. A one hit wonder she is NOT. Amy MIGHT prove herself in time, but, Amy my friend is NO PATTI. And not for nothing, but Patti’s husband is the Best Tennis player who ever lived I might add and although he has a reputation of being a big mouth, he has never been to jail. I still love you Janet!!!
ISN’T SHE MARRIED TO TATUMS EX?
Patti was a great poetess originally; then she put her words to music and and became the influence a whole musical generation sought to eumlate. Most rock critics today rate her debut album “Horses” as one of the ten best albums of all time.
Her earliest NYC performances at Max’s Kansas City were something special.
“Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine…” were the opening lyrics to the first track on “Horses.” Still sends shivers.
nice !
You are such an idiot. She was never “druggy, boozy, anorexic.” I hate liars and gossips. So sorry I happened upon this site. The only down side of google!
Uh “maxx” you are confusing Patti Smith with Patty Smyth. Patty Smyth is married to John MacEnroe.
I also agree that Amy Winehouse is no Patti Smith. Amy Winehouse copied her sound from the 60’s all-girls’ groups and she is a 100% drug addict. She will not last.
ta! ta!
Janet, you are great. But you are wayyyy off the mark on Patti Smith. She’s STILL a legend and always was.
You got this all wrong.
Jeebus she’s ugly.
Like Jon Stewart wearing a wig from the Willie Nelson Collection.
Sure hope she’s got talent, ’cause she’s efffed in the looks’ department
Patti Smith was married to Fred “Sonic” Smith of the MC5 who died some years ago.
Gilda Radner also used to put on hairy armpits when doing her impression.
SO WHO IS PATTI SMYTH…
Patty Smyth is a singer who was in “Scandal’ and sang “The Warrior.” She also had some solo stuff.
Thank you anonymous, for correcting my embarassing mistake. I hate being wrong, but I love being corrected! Guess Janet won’t be offering me a job anytime soon. 😉
janet: EVERYONE KNOWS WHO PATTI SMITH IS !!!! DUH !!!
now can you explain to us who deborah harry is ?
PS: if you knew ANYTHING about patti smith, you’d know SHE DID NOT DO DRUGS.
KNOW YOUR FACTS !!!!!!
pick up a biography. READ.you
are so washed up janet.
I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER DAMN WORD ABOUT RAT PISS. (11:46 A.M.) CAPICHE?
squeak squeak!
She’s a man, baby! I loved her songs “Goodbye to You”, “The Warrior”, and “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough” with Don Henley.
Patti Smith is a living legend always been one of my personal female singer/songwriters.
Her hair was dark guess she colored light…
She has always done things her way and never followed the crowd, she plays by her rules.
She’s a true rocker chick.
SO AGAIN..WHO IS PATTI SMYTH..NOT PATTI SMITH IN THE ABOVE PIC…
^^^^ Does that Radio Shack POS you’re typing on have Google access, perchance?
