"...Patti Smith, poet, musician, author, photographer, in Paris, late June."
NYT, A.O. Scott: "I met Patti Smith at the Electric Lady recording studios on West Eighth Street in Manhattan on a sunny August afternoon. Both the place and the date have a special significance in Smith’s personal mythos and in the broader mythology of rock ’n’ roll. The facility, which you enter through a nondescript storefront on a once famously scruffy block now given over to discount shoe stores and student-friendly eating places, was Jimi Hendrix’s brainchild, and it stands as an enduring part of his legacy."
