induction afterthoughts: playacting suburbanite?
in the induction press coverage, ps was described as
"influential" (Christopher Blagg, "Patti Smith Rocks on Hall of Fame Moment," Boston Herald, 12 March 2007),
a "punk priestess" who "scorched the place" (Scott Mervis, "Smith, Stipe Run the Show at Rock Hall Induction," Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 15 March 2007),
a "one album wonder" who is "commercially marginal" (Edna Gundersen, "Dispute Rocks the Hall: Purists Question whether Rap, Metal Artists Belong," USA Today, 12 March 2007),
"another suburbanite playacting in the city" (The Lefsetz Letter, 13 January 2007), and
an icon who "opened doors that female artists have been walking through ever since" (Lliane Hansen, "Spector and Smith, Making Rock History," NPR, 11 March 2007).
Nekesa Mumbi Moody's piece "Rap, Rock and Acrimony: It's Only the Hall of Fame," which appeared in The Seattle Times on 14 March 2007, recounts a conversation between ps and her late husband: "He told her she would get into the hall and that she would feel guilty because he would not make it even though he was more deserving." as the story goes, sonic also urged her to "accept it [the award] like a lady and not to say any curse words."
ok? now, which patti smith does this refer to? the playacting suburbanite? omg! is lefsetz right? has he coined the 70s subtitle?
