This year’s Chicago Tribune Literary Award pays tribute to Patti Smith, a galvanizing artistic force for four decades. At the heart of New York’s downtown scene with the likes of Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, Sam Shepard, and Allen Ginsberg, Smith-all shaggy hair and hollow cheeks-mesmerized the avant-garde. Her debut album, Horses, was electrifying. Its raw energy changed music and poetry for good. "Just Kids," her gorgeous, stirring memoir of the era and her relationship with the late Robert Mapplethorpe, made people fall in love with Smith all over again. She is joined in conversation by the Chicago Tribune's music critic, Greg Kot.
This program is presented in partnership with the Chicago Tribune’s Printers Row series.
This program was recorded on November 1, 2014 as part of the 25th Anniversary Chicago Humanities Festival, Journeys: chf.to/2014Journeys

She really sums up a lot about the difference between society in the 70’s and now in a few sentences at the end of this.

I lived at the Chelsea throughout the 1970s. A Bohemian Disneyland. Every day had the possibility of being thrill packed. All gone now. What once was once upon a time. Relegated to history.

Moral of the story.....it was happening back then. Shit is not happening now.

Sadly when Patti was invited back to The Chelsea for the show CBS Sunday Morning, the tiny SRO she shared with Mapplethorpe had already been slated for demolition. When the hotel's new owners heard she was coming, they shuffled up some random furniture from the basement to make it look lived-in. Patti commented that nothing really had changed. Architecturally, it hadn't. But within two days of her visit, plywood had the power. The entire hallway leading to it was blocked off and the room itself gutted. From a dumpster, we salvaged portions of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in which Robert is seen reflected while residing there. Check out our SiD & NanCY "Room 100" reveal video!

I wish I lived during the mid-late 60s. Except for the drugs, I like the music of the time.

June 1970, around the 15th I met Janice Joplin at the Chelsea she was at the El Coyote bar hungover. I gave her a couple of Endo 122's (percodan:1970). I was waiting for payphone call for work in St Mark's square. I remember bombs were going off all over the USA.Kent state closed many schools. A NY police station got blown up about the 12th

She's still kinda cool After 50 odd years that's pretty cool

@Lola-AreaCode212 2 года назад

She's way cooler now. From what many people who knew her then say, she was an ego-obsessed, pretentious, scheming little thing. I like her much better now. She's more in touch with her authenticity.

@gmar7836 2 года назад

Janis had a suite? Wow. It must have cost her even back then but Joplin died in ‘71 I think. I’ve been inside the Chelsea hotel. It’s nothing to write home about.

No surprise she left New York......

@Broatch6 3 года назад

She never did ! She still resides in New York. When she was younger she stayed just outside Detroit for a bit with her husband and 2 young children but she soon moved back. All her life she's had a very strong affinity for the City of New York. Travels a lot but always goes back .

@PAULLONDEN 3 года назад

@@Broatch6 New York "city" I meant , I thought she moved with Fred to New Jersey or something ?

@Broatch6 3 года назад

@@PAULLONDEN Wasn't she from New Jersey ? Didn't she grow up there ? And then move to New York in 1967 ? I think her family - parents and younger siblings - stayed in New Jersey and I think she often went back to visit them . Fred Sonic Smith was from Detroit . After they were married I think she moved to Detroit to start her own family . In all her books the short biographical section on the back cover always says she resides in New York City.

Thank you for your comment. Your descriptive words "empty silly world" speak volumes.

@donniemoder1466 5 лет назад

Not a tourist stop. Not a happening artsy bohemian place anymore since about 2005. Tenants were almost all driven off by construction and 2 sets of new owners. No El Coyote anymore. It is a sterile building now, no reason visit, but who knows, someday they will build a cheesy theme restaurant for tourists.

This thing has Always Been ugly, but now, it is super ugly! Is it a man or woman?

@Broatch6 3 года назад

Male or Female ? A question she asked herself all thru her life ... I think the answer she arrived at was neither ! or both ! As a child she didn't even think she was human. She was so different from every one else she thought she might actually be an alien from another world ! In the 1970s her appearance was quite striking . Not pretty and she's never been beautiful but when she was a lot younger a lotta people thought she looked great . A rock chick with boy rhythms. Had anyone asked her then are you male or female she'd proly have said something like : neither ! I'm an artist ! Not that she'd mind too much being called ugly now that she's in her 70s. She'd proly be quite pleased ! She might say : Good .... if it helps U to focus on my work and not on me then I'm glad U think I look ugly !

@deborahgalvan5367 3 года назад

she's very accomplished. she's always working and creating something. maybe you should watch the housewives of orange county to see mini skirted 55+ idiots with plastic lips and tits.

@frederick123bradlee 3 года назад

Pity that you focus on this living legends physical appearance rather than what she’s done for music and how she’s dedicated herself to art for decades, spreading negativity so unabashedly and aimlessly just because you don’t fancy the way a person looks is laughable

@frederick123bradlee 3 года назад

Its funny how you claim to preach the lords gospel on your channel while deprecating others for self gratification, just another all-American god fearin’ hypocrite
