So I cannot stand the Rolling Stones. But I love Patti Smith, and this is a pretty fabulous cover.

Patti Smith covers “Gimme Shelter” on Jools Holland’s rock’n’roll show (?!).
(I actually really, really strongly dislike the Rolling Stones. But I love this cover.)315 Comments -
Patti Smith’s “Summer Cannibals” from Gone Again (1996). God, so good.
I felt a rising in my throat, the girls a-sayin’ grace
And the air, the viscious air, pressed against my face
And it all got too damn much for me
It just got too damn rough
And I pushed away my plate
Said “Boys, I’ve had enough”
And I laid upon the table another piece of meat
And I opened up my veins and I said, “C’mon. Eat.”0 Comments -
“Angel looks down at him and says, “Oh, pretty boy,
Can’t you show me nothing but surrender?”
Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket,
Taped to his chest there’s the answer,
You got pen knives and jack knives and
Switchblades preferred, switchblades preferred”— Oh.0 Comments -
The Patti Smith Bedroom Dancing/Crying scene from All Over Me. Directed by the Sichel sisters, 1997. So glad I found this online…
