So…for anyone who has hung around these pages before, you’ll know that Patti Smith has been a constant soundtrack for the past 48 years or so. A spiritual and poetic guide since somewhere around 1978. In truth 1976 was the moment that something clicked…Johnny found something he could relate to, with 1978 becoming the moment when abstract thought first became realised through witness….
And here I am again, for the nth time watching Patti live..this time the Patti Smith Quartet at The Brighton Dome. The rock and roll moves are here, at the Roundhouse in 2015, but I’m thinking icon… One photo, one moment in a timeline, one truth teller…
…and once again, Johnny gets the feeling he’s being surrounded by horses…
