“Patti Smith was this androgynous creature who was full of sexual energy but it wasn’t contrived; it wasn’t manufactured. It wasn’t high heels; it wasn’t tight dresses and makeup - which is what we now think of as femininity. It was an animal femininity that didn’t have to be groomed or packaged in a certain way. And I loved it. It was inspirational to me.”
-Alice Bag reflects on the influence of Patti Smith, interview with Matthew Smith-Lahrman.

Patti Smith is God. She has such verbal energy, whoa. Have you read Just Kids? One of the few books that have actually made me cry.
