Why do we have a Legacy section?
Why do we have a Legacy section? She's not dead. GA-RT-22 (talk) 19:01, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- @GA-RT-22 no need to be dead to have a legacy section. For example see Mick Jaggar, still alive but has a legacy section because he/his work has influenced other notable musicians. Same is true for Smith. S0091 (talk) 19:10, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Her legacy is in the 70s and late 80s, where most of her famous songs were created. Heylenny (talk) 07:33, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Bibliography
I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:
- Cite templates will be used where possible.
- I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
- Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed.
This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 11:07, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Patti Smith meet Bobby Fischer
Please consider adding this part, I couldn't do it:
'Patti Smith's "M Train" details her unexpected 2007 meeting with Bobby Fischer in Iceland. She told Jeffrey Brown, PBS NewsHour that the reclusive chess legend, a rock 'n' roll fan, sang to her until dawn, performing classics from the Chi-Lites, the Four Tops, and Chuck Berry, despite his "terrible singing." Their shared literary interests led to a friendship that lasted until Fischer's death in 2008.

Patti and politics
For one thing, she supported Ralph Nader in at least some of his runs for president:
In October 2000, at the largest Super Rally of his campaign, held in New York City's Madison Square Garden, 15,000 people paid $20 each to hear Nader speak.... A long list of notable celebrities spoke and performed at the event including Susan Sarandon, Ani DiFranco, Ben Harper, Tim Robbins, Michael Moore, Eddie Vedder and Patti Smith.

Here is her cover blurb for Nader's 2025 book Civic Self-Respect:
"With the deepest concern for the fate of our country and future generations, Ralph Nader presents an indispensable guide to understanding our rights, our responsibilities and the rules of law. In Civic Self-Respect we are given tools to develop our civic personality, turn knowledge into action and prove that the people have the power." —Patti Smith M.mk (talk) 15:32, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
