Some quick notes on Patti Smith

1. Why does she keep forgetting the words? She's published, dammit. It might as well be inscribed in stone.

2. She and the band really needed to practice more, but it didn't matter. They suited her loose impromptu style.

3. She smiles a lot more than her photos let on and her impish smile really lights up a room.

4. People shout out the weirdest things to her. Some man in the audience "You made me a man, Patti."

5. She does Dylan really well, mostly 'cause Dylan seems to be her biggest inspiration.

6. Adulation does her well too. Her tentative beginning looked better as she gained strength from her adoring audience.

7. Her righteous shout against the Bush administration made me want to cry.
