Re: Patti Smith on Politics in the Camden New Journal, UK!!

["Page Rox" <pagerox93>]

Indeed. And what a wonderful, all-over-the-place interview you handed us!
Posted it to my own group. Everyone needs to see this--thank you, Andrew--as
usual! :-D
Its been a long time since we heard so candidly from Patti (and her dental
rap is precious, and soo true) and I had a hearty "RIGHT ON" ringin' in my
head every sentence, which is a rare thing, reading in these times. Again,
thankyou, Andrew!
Fist in the air!! (And the other fist brushing my teeth...arrhghghgh)
