1. Patti Smith rebelliert immer noch

(auch dank Bush junior). Zwei Artikel im Independent vom 7.3.04 gelten ihr, Zitat:

It’s worth remembering that Smith’s screaming, angry, heartfelt and emotional poetry-set-to-music was released a couple of years before the phrase punk rock had been invented. Kick-starting the New York art-rock scene that would later spawn bands such as Television, Blondie and Talking Heads, Smith was a cult performer even before Horses hit the streets. Bob Dylan famously attended one of her shows – the musical equivalent of a visit from the Pope.
