What is there to say? Patti Smith is the punk poet laureate, godmother of punk, a National Book Award-winning author, Instagram sensation, and overall national treasure. And, despite her status as an American icon, I am constantly in awe of her down-to-earth personality and approachability. In 2015, during the release of her second memoir M Train, I caught Patti at a now-demolished U-District cathedral for a reading. To my surprise, the evening was incredibly (and delightfully) unstructured, with acoustic songs, stories, and an unmoderated Q&A. Having now seen her on three different occasions, I've found that she brings that authentic, inviting energy to every show she plays.
