This woman IS rock and roll, as much as her South Jersey compatriot Bruce Springsteen. If she hadn't existed, someone would have had to invent her. This song is one crucial proof of that... RIP CBGBs. I saw many shows there, including the Ramones, Patti and Richard Hell, and met her former friend Allen Lanier there one night. I will miss the place. There has never been another like it and never will be.
This is one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen. The camera is shaky, the sound is awful, the video is fuzzy...and that's all perfect for the vibe of this show. The energy of this performance is so incredible I feel like I was there. Fabulous.
When all we have to listen to is rap people will preserve and save remnants of the past. Like her.
Thank God for CDs. Plus that young people love old people. Who kicked their whatevers in their day. Blessing the world. I am thankful that I grew up in the transition from the old to the new.
Few and far between. Patti. Sinead. etc. God bless.
20 years ago? 'getting old? you must be fucking elder than elder, cause that's some rareshit, caveman math you're sportin. i'm truly jealous.. seriously, i bet you've seen some things in yer time!. . quaaludes, mammoths, mammoth-quaaludes.. . awesome.
