Musician Patti Smith is interviewed by video blogger Zadi Diaz (www.epicfu.com) as part of PBS's coverage of the 2009 Television Critics Association Press Tour (Aug 1-2, 2009). Smith discuss the upcoming POV documentary "Patti Smith: Dream of Life," coming to PBS December, 2009. For more: www.pbs.org/pov/pov2009/pattismith Shot over 11 years by acclaimed fashion photographer Steven Sebring, Patti Smith: Dream of Life is a remarkable plunge into the life, art, memories and philosophical reflections of the legendary rocker, poet and artist. Sometimes dubbed the godmother of punk — a designation justified by clips of her early rage-fueled performances — Smith was much more than that when she broke through with her 1975 debut album, Horses. A poet and visual artist as well as a rocker, she befriended and collaborated with some of the brightest lights of the American counterculture, an often testosterone-driven scene to which she brought a swagger and fierceness all her own. Debuts: Wednesday, December 30, 2009, 9 p.m. ET on PBS

wow! you couldn't get two people in an interview that are more opposite in looks, depth, character,naturalness and beauty! long live patti - she's the one with them all! one of the most inspirational people on this planet!
Patti Smith is a rock 'n' roll icon! She is a heroine, a true beauty, love of personal expression, one of the most powerful women I can think of. I'm 33 years old and i will forever wish I could grow up to be just like her. I love you Patti. Thank you for sharing who you are.
i'm a latecomer to Patti's music (late 90s) so i started with her new stuff. nothing like the old sloppy punky stuff she did, the old was great and groundbreaking but her music is so much tighter now, both denser and lighter and more meaningful.. her last albums have just been getting better and better.. her black album and Peace and Noise to Trampin', i'm a real fan of her new music, and of her core band.. i am sooo looking forward to her next album! and she playin tonight!
