Happy 75th birthday today to Patti Smith who was born on 12/30/46. The influential singer-songwriter/poet known to many as the “punk poet laureate” is recognized for her 1975 debut Horses and a series of albums that followed including hallowed live performance. Smith still performs live with her band that also still includes Lenny Kaye (who turned 75 himself on Monday). Watch Patti Smith Group perform in their raw ferocity live 4/15/77 in Stockholm…
