#Patti Smith concert

[latestnews-now]

Legendary punk rock icon Patti Smith recently made headlines after collapsing on stage during her concert in São Paulo, Brazil. But is the situation as serious as it sounds? Patti has set the record straight, explaining the truth behind the incident. In this video, we break down her message to fans, her response to exaggerated reports, and what she’s been working on lately—including a surprising connection to Taylor Swift!

Ethel Cain: “I’m like, “Oh my god, these people are like real people who are having experiences with my music like I have with other people’s music,” and that constantly blows my mind.”

Gracie Abrams @gracieabrams: "This is a cover of one of my favorite songs: 'American Teenager’ by Ethel Cain." ... "Obsessed with Ethel Cain. Obsessed." ... "I am a huge fan of Ethel Cain. I listen to her music all the time… I’m such a fan of her writing. Her voice on it is unbelievable and impossible to beat. So I took a stab, but I just admire everything about her."

. . .

Coming from the Florence and the Machine fandom, which was so important to your own growth, how does it feel now to have created your own community? Because you also have a very interactive relationship with your fans.

ETHEL CAIN: "I honestly love it. Like I said earlier, music has always been very personal and very kind of secretive for me, so it was very scary to put it out online and luckily I have been blessed enough to have people who love it and who listen to it and resonate with it. So I felt like it’d be very selfish for me to not interact with them, you know, if they’re having discussions about my music and trying to discuss it with me. I love that there are people in this world who are passionate enough about my music to be so outspoken in their love for it, and it’s like the bare minimum I can do is to just be as interactive with them as possible. It’s another reason I like to call them “daughters,” I feel like the word “fans” is so impersonal. Some of them I’m pen pals with, we write letters back and forth, you know, I get on Instagram Live and chitchat with them, talk to them on Tumblr, it’s just so fun to interact with them. I’m like, “Oh my god, these people are like real people who are having experiences with my music like I have with other people’s music,” and that constantly blows my mind. So I love to get to know them and I really do consider us to be like a big family. You know, there’s not a ton of us, but the people who are here are very in love with the project and I’m in love with them."

Lili Reinhart: "I'm listening to Ethel Cain and having a religious experience"

Ethel Cain, 16: "So I know I post a lot about her (Florence Welch), and I know it may seem annoying, but her music has helped me to connect with people…I don’t care what anyone says. I’ll always love you ❤️"

. . .

Ethel Cain: "if i didn’t have such a dedicated group of people who like my music, touring would probably be 100 times worse honestly"

. . .

Patti Smith: “I would have loved if we could have written a song, that I used to call it my dream of writing the hit of the world—writing a song that everybody heard and was like felt uplifted by it. Everybody; it was like, you know, the perfect top song… You know, it’s a gift… If I had it, I’d have written the hit of the world. …I don’t think it’s important to stay in the underground to be an artist. I would love to see the greatest artists that ever lived suddenly beloved by the whole world.”

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Day Three, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Calif., Oct. 6, 2024

The good folks who put on Hardly Strictly Bluegrass created an epic conundrum of good musical fortune by booking the Wood Brothers, the Infamous Stringdusters and Emmylou Harris in simultaneous, festival-closing slots. This, of course, created high anxiety as all three acts are high on any music lover’s gotta-hear list.

But more on that later. Because first, Miko Marks began the day at the Rooster stage with some Sunday soul music before 93-year-old Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, accompanied by mandolin and bass, came out yodeling on Jimmie Rodgers’ “Waiting for a Rain.” He then dug into Woody Guthrie’s “The 1913 Massacre,” got a bit uptempo on “The Cuckoo” and nodded to the Hardly Strictly atmosphere of a super-heated Golden Gate Park (on Oct. 6!) with Jesse Fuller’s “San Francisco Bay Blues.” Between numbers, Elliott regaled the squeezed-into-shady-areas fans with tales from 70 years of music making. Steve Earle then emerged to tell an overly long story over soft picking leaving Elliott to try, unsuccessfully, to get a word in as time ran down on his 40-minute allotment.

So … off to the Banjo stage where Tony Trischka’s Earl Jam was finishing “Brown’s Ferry Blues” and launching into “Lady Madonna” - strictly bluegrass style. Brittany Haas, who would appear later with Aoife O’Donovan and Hawktail, then entered the fray for double fiddling with Shad Cobb on “You Got to Die,” and putting the blues in the grass.

Peter Case, Teddy Thompson, Melissa Carper and Carsie Blanton hit the Rooster next for a Songwriter’s Circle/guitar pull with truth as the refreshing theme. A delightful exercise in the power of folk music.

But there was also blues at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass because: “If you don’t like the blues, you probably don’t like your mama.”

So said Bobby Rush on the Banjo, where the 91-year-old - “If I’m not the oldest, I’m the ugliest,” he cracked - and his big band got down and dirty in flashy sequins as they spanned 70 years of Rush originals and covers like “Hoochie Coochie Man.” Rush blew harp with the lungs of a young man, danced around the stage with the body of a young man and rapped like the OG he is, proving yet again the magic of music - even when you’re singing of your woman leaving you “for the damn garbage man.”

After a public soundcheck that signaled sublimity to come, O’Donovan, Hawktail and the San Francisco Girls Chorus - who joined one-third of the way through the 60-minute set - spanned O’Donovan’s solo discography rearranged to fit Hawktail’s musical tapestry woven of classical, jazz and bluegrass. The Chorus voices soared across Golden Gate as O’Donovan led them through songs about the battle to pass the 19th Amendment from All My Friends.

It was a stirring performance that provided some hope in an era that sometimes feels hopeless and earned a standing ovation from the Banjo stage listeners.

Down the road at Towers of Gold, Patti Smith played to a crowd so humongous people were turned away to listen to her cover Bob Dylan’s “Man in the Long Black Coat” and Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” read poetry and and play such songs as “Cash” and “People Have the Power” at the adjacent Swan stage, which was also rammed with festivalgoers, where the Wood Brothers were to play next and Smith’s set benefitted from stellar sound piped in from next door.

Even from behind the Towers, Smith’s performance was deeply affecting - a penetrating mix of soft-edged emotion and hard-edged aggression.

“Use your voice,” she said after using hers for 65 minutes and fans on both sides of the stage exploded in applause when she finished her gig.

Now to address the daylong conundrum, splitting up three must-see acts.

And so it transpired that Mr. and Mrs. Sound Bites caught the Woods (Hardly) playing “Little Bit Broken,” “Tried and Tempted,” “Pilgram” and “A Little Bit Sweet;” the ’Dusters (Strictly) on “Gravity” and “Rise Sun” at the Rooster; and Harris’ (country, not Bluegrass) homestretch at the Banjo, which included a rambunctious “Luxury Liner” and a mournful “Together Again.”

And then it was over …

i'm going to a memorial tomorrow for a friend of mine. i'm trying to paint a picture of him for his wife and it's just still so weird to think that i won't see him anymore. this is the first time in over a year i'll be going back to the bar where he worked, i haven't been by for more than a couple minutes since i moved out of the area. it feels like he should still be there, like he always has been. i think i might get sick when it finally clicks in my head that he isn't.

I worked *at a record store* in my 20s, and one day I asked the very cool manager (who had been running the store for almost as long as I'd been alive and never gave me a music recommendation that didn't lowkey change my life) what his favorite version was of "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone." He just looked at me oddly and said "...the original?"

I was really into the blues dancing scene at the time, and had heard so many covers of it that I thought it was a standard or a traditional or something. Never even occurred to my dumb ass to look it up.

nothing more sobering than realizing you'd been assuming a cover of a song was the original...like oh phew if the wrong person found out about that i couldve been killed
