"The way Fred was, was why the MC5 turned out to be such an enormous enigma; it made people look at themselves. He made us all reach deeper and give our best." [M. Davis"Edge of the Switchblade, To Hell & Back with the #MC5" Ralph Heibutski 12/95]

#pattismith #goneagain #ninetiesrock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #classicrock #punk #fredsonicsmith #robertmapplethorpe The Godmother of Punk releases her 6th on June 18, 1996 -- a raw but resilient piece that took her through a period of personal grief. During her hiatus in the late '80s/early 90's, she and her husband, Fred "Sonic" Smith planned to return to music together. Tragically, Fred passed away from a heart attack in late '94.
