that''s so cool, I didn't know Patti Smith wrote reviews. I think there must
be a lot more musican/journalists than I ever imagined. I know Chrissy Hynde
wrote for a while, I think for Trouser Press. It's a hard fence to balance on
because of course one would rather be playing music than writing about it, but
a scrambling musician has to make a buck somehow and why not do it covering
something you love...
