Any way you look at it, Patti Smith is a legend. As a musician, the “Godmother of Punk” made waves in 1978 with “Because the Night” (co-penned by Bruce Springsteen), from her third album with The Patti Smith Group, Easter, and has gone on to release eight albums since then, most recently Banga in 2012. As a writer, Smith has produced an extensive collection of prose and poetry, and her memoir, Just Kids, in which she discusses her friendship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2010. Smith’s artwork has also been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. Is there anything she can’t do?
