Patti smith piss

Description:In , as the New York Dolls were falling apart, the CBGB's scene was just beginning to incubate, the Ramones were starting to come together, the Sex Pistols and the Damned were learning glam rock covers, and Richard Hell was ripping up his shirts, Smith and three musician friends -- Lenny Kaye and Tom Verlaine on guitars, and Richard Sohl on piano -- walked into Electric Ladyland studios in New York to set two of Smith's poems to music during an hour of studio time paid for by Smith's close friend, photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Smith and Mapplethorpe then pressed and distributed a single of the two songs cut in that hour, and if the results didn't sound like what came to be known as "punk rock," their daring and audacity set them apart from anything else on the rock scene at the time, and Smith's willingness to seize the means of production was a crucial early salvo in the DIY revolution punk would help to spawn. Smith made the heat, boredom, tension, and fights with her older co-workers seem as real and as hurtful as a car wreck, while Sohl's bop-influenced piano drove the verse along with a sure and potent power.
