future-redact: shirts on, girls!
"there was never a year like 1977..." (John Tyrangiel, "The 30th Anniversary of Punk," Time 10 Sept. 2007).
Tyrangiel: "Patti Smith could sing with fury, but she was a genuine poet."
separate the poet from the boys -- also fury singing, shirts off, 6-pack abs (from horse not crunches?), writhing punk anguish through frothy mics. her wedding dress tilting off-shoulder (Tyrangiel, pic 26), impish stare, memories of twelve that "have not done well" (ps, "Notes to the Future").
the poet fell from the stage that year...kerplunk into 80's postpunk, draping demeulemeester cuffed linen "sackcloth and ashes" (ps, Notes to the Future"), and "a great reverence for the past" (Mark Holgate, "Kindred Spirits," Fashion Rocks, Sept. 2007), standing where Piaf stood, whisper of sucer francais, exhaled as raspy, nyc blare.
on paris olympia, the shirted poet disrobes les hard-knock mots suces, anthem-to-the-boys: "ain't it strange oh oh oh...girl in white dress boy shoot white stuff" (ps, "Ain't It Strange" from Radio Ethiopia).
