Patti Smith was born on 30 December 1946 in Chicago, daughter of Beverly, a waitress and jazz singer, and Grant, a factory worker. In 1967 she moved to New York—in those years the centre of a cultural revolution that in one decade transformed music, literature, customs and sexual behaviour around the world. It was here that Patti met Robert Mapplethorpe, destined to become one of the greatest American photographers of the 20th century, and formed a strong personal and artistic bond with him, which was to be a determining factor in her life. The two live as bohemians, constantly changing friendships and homes, growing up together in life and art at the Chelsea Hotel, the historic New York residence of writers, musicians, actors and artists. Patti earns her living working in a bookstore, takes up acting, writes poetry and a play, and performs musical readings. She writes songs. Her name becomes widespread on the “underground” circuit. In November 1975 she released her debut album ‘Horses’, which consecrated her success, making her the muse of many influential artists of the rock scene. Source Uffizi Gallery

I found more wedding pictures. I know you like Karen.

Meg White's ex husband Jackson Smith was there!? I shouldn't be shocked since he's good friends with Karen. His mom Patti was the one who married Karen and Lee.

Great pics thank you!

I found this gorgeous pic just now!

Patti Smith (1946-) solo Songs: "Gloria," "Because the Night" Propaganda: "Bisexual legend, hung around with Blue Öyster Cult and then the New York new wavers. The punk poetess, rough around the edges but with a heartbreaking voice. She never cared what anyone thought of her and she's iconic for that, and she really deserves more recognition for her work imo" "Obsessed with the way she blended poetry and rock n' roll. Multi-talented icon. Also the photos of her and Robert Mapplethorpe? HOT." "Beautiful voice, and an androgynous look I would kill for"

Lee Morse (1897-1954) solo Songs: "Love Letters in the Sand," "If You Want the Rainbow" Propaganda: "I am obsessed with this woman. That huge voice coming out of this tiny little waif with her big eyes and goofy smile."

Take me now, baby, here as I am Hold me close, try and understand Desire is hunger, it’s the fire I breathe Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now, try and understand The way I feel when I’m in your hands Take my hand, come undercover They can’t hurt you now Can’t hurt you now, can’t hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I’m alone? Love is a ring, the telephone Love is an angel disguised as lust Here in our bed until the morning comes

Come on now, try and understand The way I feel under your command Take my hand as the sun descends They can’t touch you now Can’t touch you now, can’t touch you now

Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep With doubt the vicious circle Turns and burns Without you I cannot live Forgive, the yearning burning I believe it’s time, too real to feel So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us

Because tonight there are two lovers If we believe in the night we trust Because tonight there are two lovers Because the night belongs to lust Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to lust

The Year In Doom & Gloom

Doom & Gloom From The Tomb celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, which is crazy. But what can I say, I keep finding cool live tapes and keep feeling compelled to share them with you ... whoever you are! A lot of this website is just me talking to myself, hashing and rehashing and re-re-hashing various obsessions, getting impossibly niche about some of my favorite artists, trying to shine a light into the darkest corners of music history. But that makes it sound like it's a serious endeavor. Mostly, it's fun. I hope it's fun for you too. So, if you need to catch up, here's a tip-of-the-iceberg rundown of what we checked out over the last 12 months ... as always, thank a taper!

fantastic article from original London punker Vivien Goldman about the not-so-secret but often forgotten Jewish role in the early UK punk scene

In a classically angst-ridden Jewish ambivalence about identity, the New York punk Richard Hell – of Television, the Heartbreakers and the Voidoids – has said he doesn't like to be defined by the fact that his father is Jewish. But he's one of many Jewish (or Jewish-ish?) artists on the New York scene, such as Joey Ramone, Lenny Kaye of the Patti Smith Group and Blondie's Chris Stein, who overcame his Holocaust paranoia by collecting Nazi artefacts. (The concerns of punky American Jews are documented by by Steven Lee Beeber in his book The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's). In a documentary I made for BBC 6 Music, A Tale of Two Punk Cities, Talking Heads bass player Tina Weymouth recalled that New York punks thought people who talked politics were a bore. But to us, the ideas expressed in Anarchy In The UK and White Riot were real. The G2 or Second Generation theory, whereby children of Holocaust survivors are often socially conscious activists, could have had something to do with it, however it was never discussed. But the Yanks were trying to forget Vietnam, while we were still living among bombsites in our own civil war zone, fighting teds, skinheads and rockers as well as the sus law and the National Front. Our punky Jew experience was also different because British punk mostly inhabited a shared political landscape, as well as views of the kind that McLaren and Rhodes helped to spread, which manifested in organizations such as Rock Against Racism.
