Patti Smith "stunned" by Rock Hall selection
http://www.therockradio.com/2007/01/patti-smith-stunned-by-rock-hall.html
After several years of eligibility, Patti Smith has finally been
chosen to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Smith has
been eligible since 1999, because she released a single titled "Hey
Joe" back in 1974, even before she got her first record deal. When we
caught up with the punk poet yesterday (January 8th), Smith was
thrilled, and surprisingly at a loss for words, about the honor: "I'm
actually really happy. I mean, it's such an honor... I mean, these
things, you know, they're institutions and everything, but they're
still, you know, they represent a body of thought, and, you know, it
really... I don't know, it's just... I'm, you know, I'm, I'm really
happy."
Smith will be inducted at the Rock Hall's annual ceremony at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on March 12th. The Class of
2007 also includes rap icons Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five;
alternative rockers R.E.M.; classic girl group the Ronettes; and hard
rockers Van Halen.
