Transcript | It was the summer Coltrane died. The summer of "Crystal Ship." Flower children raised their empty arms and China exploded the H-bomb. Jimi Hendrix sethis guitar inflames in Monterey. A.M. radio played "Ode to Billy Joe." There were riots in Newark, Milwaukee, and Detroit. It was the summer of Elvira Madigan, the summer of love. And in this shifting, inhospitable atmosphere, a chance encounter changed the course of my life. It was the summer I met Robert Mapplethorpe. -Patti Smith, musician and author of Just Kids Patti Smith performs songs from her 1975 debut Horses at the Cuiien Performance Hall. | Clay Prine i i 1 POET SHARES STORIES FROM HER YOUTH On April 19, ardent fans of Patti Smith packed the Cuiien Performance Hall to hear her read from Just Kids, a memoir that chronicles the artist's coming-of-age, her relationship with artist Robert Mappelthorpe and their rise to fame. During their evening with Smith the audience was treated to acoustic performances of the musician's hits from the 70s and gems such as the artist's recollection of her chance encounter with legendary poet Allen Ginsberg.
