  • reed patti smiths 'just kids'! she is writing about the years she spent with robert mapplethorpe. they helped each other to cope in life. in the last chapter he gets aids and passes away. They left each other as lovers, but never as firends.

  • @missZiggy549 Thank you for watching and comments!!!

  • I don't know much about Mapplethorpe, but I think I know his intent with his explicit artwork. He was calling people on their hypocrisy. He put their own lives whether through activity or thought right in their faces. It's all bullshit. Example: A woman can go to a community swimming pool in a skimpy bikini, but if she shows up in her bra and panties she can be arrested even though they're the same articles of clothing, basically. Lots of bullshit in life if you dare to think about it.

  • You are right... its like the nipples conspiracy or something hehe... thanks for watching and comment...

  • died of aisd didn't e?

  • @yogini1992 if u read Just Kids (as you said you did) you would know he took the cover pic for horses and plenty of other covers for patti.

  • @idmusica that's cool mate .) buzz me if u need me :)

  • wow i can't believe i didn't realize he took several of the most iconic pictures not only of patti smith but of rock, for instance her for the cover of her album "Horses." amazing photographer and artisti indeed.

  • oh nevermind i guess most of it is indeed that song by peter gabriel haha. :)

  • this is beautiful. i just finished reading "Just Kids" and it is truly a special book. good song choices from Patti Smith...you might want to change the song listen it says "Peter Gabriel-In Your Eyes"....haha but anyway nice video thank you

  • Yes! Patti Smith's book "Just Kids", about her and Robert is one of the most inspiring I have ever read. Highly recommend it.

  • Me encanta. Gracias.

    Felicidades de Boston.
