Patti Smith: Just Kids
Thoroughly enjoyed Patti Smith's memoir, Just Kids. My initial response: Just Kids is written with unabashed aristry; it is graceful in every sense of the word. We follow Patti Smith's early leap of faith into the unknown, begin to understand the courage of her acts. There is attention to detail, dates, meaning. There are many epiphanies about art, life. And there are many intersecting lives. Loved it and will now seek out the audiobook version, too.
Today's Rune: Partnership.

I might be interested in this. I've got a secret weak spot for writers from the music biz
Looking forward to this at some point.
