Last night we experienced the very meeting point, the actual bridging factor, where Rock meets Roll. The 'n', if you will. And if you go see Patti fucking Smith you will. No ifs nor buts.
How can anyone be that Rock? in this day and age, 30-odd years after Horses, a handful of personal tragedy, 1 hit and a still unsettling mixture of rude punk pricklyness and mellowed sweet-old-ladyness, how can anyone be that Rock?

She was fucking amazing.

Highlights were hearing virtually the whole of the Horses album, including a whopping Gloria as the final encore; her gobbing almost constantly all over the stage; Lenny Kaye; her threatening to have the shit beat out of anyone that chucked stuff on stage; someone chucking stuff on stage; the bouncers violently removing that person at her behest; her singing 'people say beware, but i don't care' from Gloria while fondling her moustache; Gandhi.

Totally fucking amazing
