Patricia Lee "Patti" Smith (born December 30, 1946) is an American singer, poet and visual artist who was a highly influential component of the New York punk rock movement, particularly with her 1975 debut album 'Horses'. Called the "Godmother of Punk", she integrated the beat poetry performance style with three-chord rock.
The heat cast an apocalyptic pall over Portland. For the third day in a row, temperatures crested over 100 degrees. The streets were mainly deserted save a few homeless folks and those who needed to walk their dogs. The air hung with no breeze.
Patti Smith is a treasure trove of living musical history, and she revealed much of that legacy in song and storytelling on August 9th at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara. The concert was a continuation of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the historic venue.
