theunderestimator-2: Patti Smith at Riviera Theater, Chicago, in 2016, as photographed by Brigid Gallagher. “I’m going to be 70 soon, and I know I can’t sing like Amy Winehouse or Rihanna. I can’t rely on that physical beauty or certain things that you have when you’re young. But what I can rely on is that, when I go on stage, I am only there for one reason and that’s to communicate with the people. I don’t have any wishes for myself. I don’t care about career. I already have a place, and a good name … there’s nothing that I really want, except for us all to experience something together.
