Patti Smiths long, slender fingers trembled just thinking about being a writer during the presidency of Donald Trump. I dont know how people are even able to contain themselves and contain their rage, Smith said, I always felt, even if I didnt agree with whomever was our president, I felt that I could still walk tall wherever I want. I still was myself. But theres something about this current administration where I feel tainted as a human being.
On Monday night at the Whitney Museum in Manhattan, Smith and Salman Rushdie commiserated about Trump and otherwise compared notes on everything from the writing process to their favorite painters. They were guests at the annual Chairmans Evening hosted by the MacDowell artist colony and were interviewed by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and MacDowell chairman Michael Chabon. MacDowell has a long history of bringing artists together and previous Chairmans Evening pairings have included Martin Scorsese with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Stephen Sondheim with Paul Simon.
Both said that current events have made it harder for them to focus, but also more determined. Rushdie said the artists role was to create beauty and to move beyond Trump, at least in the writing process, because hes not interesting enough. Smith said she saw her job as keeping an eye on everything, in case we have to do something drastic politically, and otherwise maintain a well-rounded existence.
And I cant let this guy (Trump), and what theyre doing, keep me from my inalienable right to do my work, to have some kind of joy in life, she said.

Well, Patti, as bad as Trump may be his opponents will
always be worse and your blithering ignorance will
forever protect you from that factoid!

It’s amazing how shining the light of truth on the cockroaches makes them all feel tainted.
Maybe it’s because they ARE all tainted.
She looks like one of them smelly hippies, Jim.
