Song 341: Gloria: In Excelsis Deo

Patti Smith is so underrated.

She’s a big part of the beginning of the punk movement.  Pioneer of female rock music.  An original of rock poetry.  She is on Mt. Rushmore of rock of the 1970s.

Writer of perhaps the greatest opening lyric of any rock song ever in Gloria.    Listen to it.  It starts off the first track of her debut album.  What balls.

Gotta respect her.
