Chick rockers: Patti, Chrissy, & PJ

PJ tossin good fortune

The first time I heard the (above) PJ tune I thought about Patti Smith in the late 70's. It took me back to Patti Wave album: the fervor of Citizen Ship, the wanting of Frederick. Maybe back to the haunting 25th floor from the Easter album.

I can't exit a blog on chick singers w/o mentioning Chrssy Hynde of the Pretenders. Mystery Achievement remains my #1 Pretenders tune.  Please drop a nickel in the jukebox at my blog. Leave the name of a tune by one or all these chicks.

I needed to add another gritty chick, Lucinda Williams, for some country flavor.

 Sinead O'Connor has called for a boycott of Rolling Stone after it placed reality TV star Kim Kardashian on its cover. I think a lot of folks have stopped paying attention to that mag long before this.

Maybe it's the "mick" in me, but I woke up with Sinead  & the Chieftains  foggy dew on my brain

What's the true story on how Jimmy Iovine, the studio engineer for Patti Smith and Springsteen, helped Patti snare Because the Night?

5/6/16

Has Sinead ventured deeper into the foggy dew or did she hit the target?
Sinead posted a note on Facebook accusing Hall of supplying Prince with drugs "over the decades" and of spiking her with drugs.

 #bobdylan quote on #amywinehouse interesting: 
" She was the last real individualist around"

I've been a fan of #pattismith for a long time but never thought she'd receive so many awards. If you live long enough.....

woke up thinking about chrissy hynde's tune    like in the movies

10/6/18

Yep, I recall feeling this PJ Harvey lyric "until my middle name was excess" from tune "we float"

11/18/18

I've been the receiver of  similar words found in this  line #pattismith utters in in her "pissing in a river"  tune. "Don't turn your back now, I'm talking to you"

Patti Smith who just turned 75, received the key to NYC this week. I like a lot of her songs but wonder how she has escaped the ignorant, cancel culture. I understand she's using the N-word to define someone outside of society, a black sheep, etc, in the song Rock and Roll N____ from the late 70s, but that doesn't usually stop the dunces who lack comprehension skills.
