DO listen to all of her work. Understand that she's a sexagenarian with a wealth of experience and perspective who understands a great deal about style, including the beat generation method of reciting poetry backdropped by chord. Ginsberg would do this at impromptu venues, anywhere, any time. Patti's not a tune smith, but her voice (poetic, vocal) has tremendous character & has always been willing to take risks with it.

@dodecapusrex Totally disagree. If it was merely about poetry, delivery and ideas, she would have just recited a poem. Why bother with chords and melody if they're irrelevant to the piece?
I play all her albums, so I wouldn't even be able to define her by a single style if I wanted to. This song is a dud regardless of style.

@spacemutt
It's completely worthy of her. Your expectations of what you'd prefer to hear aren't. It's more about her poetry, her vocal delivery, voice and ideas, not the music arrangement -- not even the chords and melody. Music fans are prone to framing their favorite performers into a preconceived notion of style, but that's no favor to anybody.

this song isn't worthy of her, even though she wrote it. people could get the wrong idea.

Astonishing. Patti manages to be sitting in the front row at her own concert (come on, the wild brownish-gray head from the back looks like Patti's!).
