#pattismith #peaceandnoise #ninetiesrock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #artpunk #godmotherofpunk #alanginsberg #michaelstipe The Godmother of Punk releases her seventh on September 30, 1997 during a time of raw grief. Pretty much the whole album deals with the loss of her husband Fred "Sonic" Smith, her brother Todd and close friend Robert Mapplethorpe. The album touches on Smith's close relationship with beat poet Allen Ginsberg, who passed away in April of '97.

first line from Allen Ginsberg’s “Why Is God Love, Jack?” in Planet News, 1961–1967 (1968) Because I lay my head on pillows, cumulus clouds lull me, filled with poppies’ milk. Because you rested your cool palm upon my sweaty brow, the breeze from off the river eases my hot-headedness. Because my brain and heart and liver have betrayed me, your unfailing presence dulls my sharpest pain. Because your tear dropped on my cheek, the falling rain fills me with grief. first line from Allen Ginsberg’s “Kaddish” part IV in Kaddish and Other Poems (1961) o mother, omniarch of home in the world that you created in the world that you renewed omnipresence of protection through your lifetime and throughout your days o mother omen of the past reminder of what’s yet to come in this or any other place for us or any other people in this world of grief and pain o mother with your eyes that see and weep no more

Allen Ginsberg: Flower-Power, Hippies, Musik und Revolution
Allen Ginsberg prägt 1960er-Gegenkultur: Mit Flower-Power propagiert er "make love, not war" - gewaltfreie, spektakuläre Proteste mit Musik, Blumen und Humor.
