Unpretentious, poetic, and inspiring - loved the reminiscing of NYC. Love that place. Never heard any of her music (I know who she is, but I never listend to any albums - missed the boat on that one.) I'm checking out "Horses" right now. Great stuff.
PS - I'm going to do some research on Mapplethorpe photography when I get back to work on Monday. I'm excited to see what he has to offer. Thinking about doing a Mapplethorpe photgraph poetry to picture project with my kids...lol.

How cool is it that Rimbaud's picture watches over our club, as Rimbaud serves as Smith's iconic inspiration.
Be careful with Mapplethorpe's photos, some where beyond edgy. I saw the series with the whip handle up his butt at the Pompidou Museum in Paris back in 84.
lol - I'm totally kidding about the mapplethorpe project - He's very edgy. Some photos (like the one that was posted on the blog) could be artistic, but I don't want kids to start reporting that Mr. Gripp is a freak.
