the talks
nice new interview site with pieces on patti smith, mike tyson, sofia coppola, mick jagger, ewan mcgregor, mel ramos & others. pretty down until:
But you [Patti Smith] still seem to be a person who is not always comfortable with being famous…
All of this stuff if you call it flattery or whatever, yes it’s awkward, it’s awkward for you and it’s a little awkward for me but in the end we connected and that is pure. That has no hierarchy, that has no pedestal, it’s just so. So that other stuff is just human, we can’t help it we get self-conscious and excited, that’s just what it is. The real thing is the actual purity of the connection and that doesn’t have a star, an icon, a lower person, it’s just a pure thing. So that’s really what we’re talking about and that makes me happy and if we can find some unifying principal despite what we all look like and act like, that’s the shit.
ugh. i know im in the minority on this one, but i really wish patti smith would just fade quietly into the night. if i read one more eulogy of old new york im going to kill myself. link.
