  • The undisputed Queen of Rock!

  • crieff is almost right. Lennon's was using the word as it was before black people started taking it back, and Patti's is using the word as it may be after they take it back

  • Don't be a pussy and explain yourself or why you like it.

  • this is far from a racist song and i hope you niggers realise that, the irish have had much more predudice than anyone in history, believe me!!!

  • Comment removed

  • It´s Horny :-D SUPER

  • This version has better beats and rythms to all the instruments, but the Marilyn Manson version has better guitar tuning and is great in the hard rock version

  • manson did it better im sorry

  • @metallica3678

    give her a break dammit

  • @metallica3678 manson couldnt lick her shoes

  • sounds like "baby was a black shit"

  • Chuck's poem is a great comment. He's a poet!

  • nigger ain't a name ya claim for yourself someone makes it you on a cultural pyre...fagots... fuel for division... the "ins" and reggae-muffin outs... If the stars of seuss all fall outside ashes...ashes in falls down. Be a nigger. someone who's "in" sez ya are, anyway.
  • Yours? I like it.

  • I hate every poster that ends their post with anyway.

  • so

    you are a bigot

    anyway?

    or an anyway bigot?

    (better? lol j/k...)

  • ANYWAY

  • Beautiful poem. I think Miss Smith would be intrigued.

  • do you like the world around you ?

  • Jesus Christ and grandma too!

    I love U you Patti!

  • I´ll fuck the humans; which not love this song; i really like it !!

  • sexy white woman. her singing about niggers doen't bother me in the least.

  • well, there is a difference in the annunciation of the word, nigger vs nigga. when i first heard this song on natural born killers i almost burned up in rage yet was intrigued with its meaning. smith is mocking white supremacy and encouraging black man's exile from society was rock and roll, an outsider of the tradition of muzac. funny how so many people want to be "black" in today's society; imagine this song's influence to that trend

  • guardian,

    Believe me, NOBODY really "wants to be black" and YOU know it!

  • I think it's talking about how anyone can be an outcast, it has nothing really to do with black and white.

  • when i meet a friend, which is not loving Patty,

    i´ll to plant a punch on so.'s chin

  • its got an a in the end not er

  • This is so perfect after 30 years, Obama is ruining this country...to me this song is dedeicated to his cunting wife michelle

  • have you missed the point of the song or what?? way to go brain trust

  • LOL, my friend, you truly miss the meaning of this song. it encorages such great things as the audacity of a prejudice society placing its scapegoat as the highest representative of its country. the song is ironic only because it promotes today's advancement of my people. i totally dig this song

  • awesome

  • Probably the most sexy, poetic, true punk song EVER recorded. Love ya Miss Smith!

  • Probably the most sexy artist? :)

  • What a woman!

    Great!

  • I got this vinyl :D

  • I had it and wore it out

  • Me too! It's the only P. S. vinyl i have. Got all the cd's though. :)

  • Miss Smith is on my stereo at least once a week (out of about 20.000recording!).She would forget Jean Michel Basquiat...

    Thanks,much!!!

  • I'm not comfortable with the n-word, I don't think we live in a post-racial society, but Patti Smith may well be post-racial, _and_ "outside of society."

  • It's an anti-rascist song, much like "Woman is the nigger of the world" was an anti-sexist song. They use a word that grabs your attention to make a point....

  • @crieff405

    it's not an anti-racist song, nor a racist song. Nigger here doesn't refer to race. Nigger stands for people 'out of society'. In other words, people who stand out and refuse to be part of the horde. Like Jimi Hedrix, Jezus and Jack the Dripper.

  • @5192ig88 you fail !

  • Classic
