Wow, some people's best years are behind them. And some people never had any 'best years.' ;-)

"like George Bush and pharmaceutical companies, these greedy people who don’t care about the environment, who don’t really understand the poor, who don’t understand other cultures."

Speaking of cultures...

I love how people who got rich in show business have such a pithy way of expressing their view of the world. If class warfare actually broke out, and the poor decided to actually loot the wealthy instead of destroying small businesses operated by people who work for a living, the entertainment industry a**h*l*s would be begging for federal troops to protect Long Island, Cape Cod, Martha's Vinyard, and the like.

Has she done anything since "The Warrior?"

The world right now is being run by a**holes like George Bush and pharmaceutical companies, these greedy people who don’t care about the environment, who don’t really understand the poor, who don’t understand other cultures.

Is she still alive?

I wish the world was run by pharmaceutical companies. I would've retired a rich man 6 years ago. As it is, we haven't made money since 1991.

Make sure you don't confuse Patti Smith (above, best known song "Because the Night") with the much more attractive (and talented) Patty SmYth (of Scandal-think "Goodbye to You," "the Warrior") below:

Whoops. In that case, I never heard of Patti Smith.

I remember reading a story in the late 70's how Ted Nugent placed dozens of GONZO bumper stickers on her tour bus. I thought that was exteremly funny!

"Candy Slice" get's up off the floor long enough to spout nonsense.

LOL... Gilda Radner's portrayal still provides a good laugh!

Wow, patti smith! I remember that name. A punk rocker from the 70's who used to screech like yoko ono. Talk about a trivia question.

In the 1970s she appeared on SNL, but not from the studio, from CBGB's, a club that was punk HQ for some bands (Tuff Darts, Talking Heads, etc) back when you and I were in colleges. :') Anyway, she charted with a Bruce Springsteen composition, "Because the Night", then married someone ex- of the MC5, who later died. Before she appeared in the music scene, she lived with various artists in NYC for a while, reaching back into the 1960s. One of her own tunes from her musical period was "Rock and Roll N*****."

Looks like "Rock and Roll N*****" was later recorded by another reprehensivo, Marilyn Manson.

That's what I've been saying for almost 20 years. It has a bunch of great music on it. I went to make sure I still have it and it's a 2 album set.
