"Patti Smith released a cover of the song as the A-side of her first single, 'Hey Joe' b/w 'Piss Factory', in 1974. The arrangement of Smith's version is based on a recording by blues guitarist Roy Buchanan that was released the previous year (and dedicated to Hendrix). Smith's version is unique in that she includes a brief and salacious monologue about fugitive heiress Patty Hearst and her kidnapping and participation with the Symbionese Liberation Army. Smith's version portrays Patty Hearst as Joe with a 'gun in her hand'. Tom Verlaine on lead guitar. 'Piss Factory' is a protopunk song written by Patti Smith and Richard Sohl, and released as a B-side on Smith's debut single 'Hey Joe' in 1974."
