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.

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

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.

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.....

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

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.
