Hey in the latest Rolling Stone magazine, the one with Jimi Hendrix on the cover there's a mention of Patti winning Commander of the Order of the Arts award in France. I looked at www.rollingstone.com but couldn't find a reference for those of you who don't get the mag. It's in Random Notes on page 38.
There's a pix of Patti with the award and giving a salute. The text is as follows: Patti's Prize. France decided to make an exception to its policy of hating every American: Patti Smith! For her work as a rad poet rocker, Smith was made a Commander of the Order of Arts. "I have vowed to live up to this honor in my work and my conduct," she said. In exchange, Smith will include an Edith Plaf song on her upcoming covers album, along with Bob Dylan and Dead tunes.
