Patti Smith
We explore the musical influences of Patti Smith and who she inspired.
The home for Jami’s radio show on WKNY 107.9FM where she explores the very queer roots of rock n roll and plays a lot of great music!
This week, we pay tribute to punk poet and queer icon - Patti Smith. We explore her influences and who she inspired and play two hours of great music spanning from garage rock, early punk, alternative, and riot grrrl. Set includes music from Bob Dylan, the Doors, the Clash, Bikini Kill, Sonic Youth, X-Ray Specs, and the Pixies.
And be sure to read my post on how Smith turned a cover song into a queer anthem.

Why do a Van Morrison cover song when you can create a lesbian fever dream?
OMGZ, I can't wait to listen tonight. I actually paused my paid Patti substack for a while, because she's so incredibly prolific a blogger, and I have been insanely busy to read more than her free posts. But think how nice it will be this summer... I will glory in all my Patti posts, with Patti singing in the background. There are few people on earth [whom I 've never met] whom I love as much as Patti Smith. Thank you Jami!
