Patti Smith Patti Smith au Provinssirock festival, Seinäjoki (Finlande) le 16 juin 2007. Patti Smith, Outside Society. Son art est un mélange de musiques et de mots qui happe chaque mélomane, une chanteuse bavarde qui traduisait sa ferveur et son énergie par sa voix profonde, exquise, vibrante, et voilée, le visage pâle, le sourire mélancolique, le regard intense et pénétrant, ses lyriques politisées, son esprit révolutionnaire, toute une rage androgyne fut interprétée par cette femme rare et modeste, une héroïne sexagénaire qui n’en finit toujours pas de séduire ses fans inconditionnels.
Patti Smith ou La marraine du punk a toujours cheminé dans un monde de mots, saisie par le charme des plumes nobles françaises, l’orageuse rockeuse n’a pas pu s’empêcher de marcher dans le sillage d’Arthur Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Gérard de Nerval…etc. Il y avait d’autant plus une grande affinité entre Patti et Antonin Artaud, toujours fascinée par sa véhémence, par sa flamme antérieure, elle se sentait tellement proche à son écriture rebelle que les mots commençaient à venir irrésistiblement sous le bec de sa plume. 1.

Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Avec le Sonic's Rendezvous Band, Fred n'a sorti de son vivant qu'un seul et unique 45 tours, le classique City Slang, véritable emblème du son de Détroit. Le Sonic's Rendezvous Band servira de backing band à Iggy Pop, l'ancien chanteur des Stooges et se séparera à l'orée des années 1980. Fred Smith s'était marié en 1980 à la poétesse punk Patti Smith pour qui il a réalisé l'album Dream of Life en 1988, qui marque le retour de Patti Smith sur la scène rock. Cet opus eut peu de succès malgré des textes forts - comme l'emblématique People Have the Power - et des mélodies soignées dues à Fred.

Television is an American rock band, formed in New York City in 1973 and credited as highly influential and seminal.[2] Lester Bangs heard in Television's music the influence of Quicksilver Messenger Service, noting a similarity between Verlaine's guitar playing and that of John Cipollina.[3] Tom Verlaine has downplayed the comparison, citing the Ventures as a more apt reference point.
In 2004, Robert Christgau pointed to the debt that Television owed to the San Francisco scene of the late 1960s, directly comparing Verlaine's guitar playing to that of Jerry Garcia.[4] Television's roots can be traced to the teenage friendship between Tom Verlaine and Richard Hell.
