patti smith - wild leaves (a song dedicated to robert mapplethorpe)

Also read Just Kids, and loved it. I could relate to her initial reluctance to perform her poetry, since I did that too, when I wrote a bunch of stuff in the punk movement in SF in the early 80's and ended up performing in bands so my words could be heard. But she had a beautiful collaboration and lifetime love with Robert, and that is truly special.

I'm loving Just Kids too.... so nice to have formed such a strong friendship/collaboration bond with your 19 year old lover that lasts a lifetime. Respect and love that lasted because it was just that which was given by both sides.

I was at the gig - missed this song - went out for a p*** while they were setting up - security wouldn't let me in till the song had finished - had to watch it on that poxy little screen by the entrance. Bastards!

Still, great show.

Thanks for the upload friend.

I was sat in row J in the front stalls with tears running down my face when they played this.
