Patti Smith

From The Lurkers

Punk Goddess

Patti Smith has always been an emotional and imaginative Outsider who created something uniquely her own while inspiring other outsiders (and lurkers) to do the same. Nearly 30 years and nine albums later, she is still painting a unique spirtually laden canvas with her own distinct spoken word/musical art form.

Last year she had this to say about H.P. Lovecraft:

There are those whom we seek and there are those whom we find. Occasionally we find, however fractured the relativity, one we recognize as kin. In doing so, certain curious aspects of character recede and we happily magnify the common ground. Thus, I have found a most unlikely chum in the writer H.P. Lovecraft.
