Vincenzo ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 12:30:40 -0400 From: Sally Subject: Re: Where Rock Stars Lived in NYC (Photo Gallery) | Susan thank you for sharing the link to the images. Fascinating and really a commentary on how much artists really do suffer for the art that drives them...haven't we mostly all been there/done that. And I would STRONGLY second what Catherine had to say about the Patti Smith book, "Just Kids." Truly it deserved every accolade that it garnered and the astonishing thing about the book, it really wasn't what she has to say or the story she told. It was just an overall vibe that you got while reading it that was phenomenal. I have told everyone I talked to about it...the book has magic on it. I am a pro photographer so I had an interest in Mapplethorpe. And while not a huge fan, I respect Patti Smith fir her astonishing use of the language..quite a major poet in fact. And her groundbreaking music early in the punk scene. I think she's misunderstood by many and greatly respected by those who do have a clue about her. Wait...did I say I wasn't a huge fan? I lied! Read this book if you haven't. You will find it captivating!

If anyone knows this, or knows what address it was, I can walk by and check it out. Many of the houses on Huron Street are still rooming houses or apartments, but most have been substantially gentrified. Certainly the land they're on would get a LOT of money these days and someone would probably love to build a very tall and very glass condo on the site. > > As well, the article that Sue shared with us mentions Patti Smith and her book "Just Kids." I highly recommend this. Even if you aren't a fan of Patti Smith, the story itself is fascinating, all about her early days in New York and her friendship with Robert Mapplethorpe. I'm certainly a much bigger fan after having read it than I was going on, and am really looking forward to her new book, "M Train", coming out in the fall. > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Susan E.

As I was fortunate to to be there with Steph and Jamie (didn't he do well?) I wasn't sure how the interview would work as a video on YouTube. However, I was as captivated and enthralled as I was on the day, almost feeling myself in that club in Toronto watching the young woman in the corner tuning and retuning her guitar before launching into songs of exceptional innovation and artistry. Malka's passion, love and respect for her dear friend shine throughout the video. Absolutely magical.

I agree with you that it's tough to watch our mothers grow older but they are really continuing to teach us all about life ... my mom is having a lot of trouble with her eyesight so me and my sister tag teamed to drive her down to visit her cousin on the Jersey shore. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of cecelia sonsini Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2015 10:34 AM To: joni@smoe.org Subject: Sweet Bird, more NJC than JC I've been planning the next tattoos that I want to have done and, because Joni has been such a huge part of my life, was trying to think of a quote that that would have meaning enough to me that I'd want it permanently inked on my body. B After reading the posts about Sweet Bird I realized that "Sweet bird you are/briefer than a falling star" is the perfect quotefor me at this time of my life. B I'm 56 years old and have gone through a real "mourning" of the loss my youth over the past few years. B What really brought it all home was watching my mom, who is soon to be 93, age almost before my eyes. B She seems pretty ageless (kind of like Betty White) until she had a fall a couple of years ago and ended up in a rehab facility for a month. B A year ago my wife and I added a small apartment onto our house and my mom now lives here. B It's been a real eye-opening experience to see the changes that happen as we get older. B As a side note, luckily my mom is able to fully care for herself, although I do help her shower just to be safe. B She gets out and walks every day and, other than some hand tremors and some short term memory issues, she's healthy as a horse.So, thank you to the list for helping me find my Joni quote and thank you for allowing me to share a bit about what I'vebeen going through! ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2015 #413 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendto joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
