Prefer SKY ...by a mile!

I will never, EVER get P. Smith. She sucks so badly in my estimation, I think she was a product of a moment when there was very little music for baby boomers to embrace, so they latched onto her. More " junkie chic" for a generation that was trying to convince themselves they were still relevant, when greed had become the daily raison d'etre for them. This is a great example.

Lenny Kaye and Patti Smith, the king and queen of the vainglorious. From such a second-city mentality, they become merely provincial pop. (no pun intended, Iggy)

Sky Saxon sucks...The Seeds ruled this.

[youtalkiname]

Sky Saxon IS the Seeds.

[PaulBradford13]

not impressed. the Seeds bury this version. even the guitar solo is sub par.

If this was 1965, Patti would be a genius. But it's not '65, and this wannabe with questionable talent (more energy than actual mojo) isn't a patch on Sky Saxon's flower powered ass.

[moorlock2003]

Nice try, but they're messing with the lyrics. Naughty!

[sicodelia65]

Patti is fucking with Tom Varlaine

[uleberg7]

But where is Patti?

[QuakerDeb]

They did this in Philly in July, it was electrifying!!
