And those tunes were none too good.
["Vera Geminii" for example]
Her one big popular "hit" was written by Bruce Springsteen.
["Because the Night"]
The only other song she ever did that impressed me was "Pissing in a River" which was featured on the 80s cult movie "Times Square" which had a -great- punk soundtrack.
[and the proof of her obscurity will be the immense number of FReepers who have never even *heard* of that movie!]...;))
Gilda Radner did a wicked imitation of her on the old SNL, though....;)

[Ah think ol' Patti could use a little "more cowbell", if'n ya gits muh drift]....>:-]
I have and have the album. Great soundtrack.
