If you haven't read "just kids" by Patti Smith, please do. I didn't care for her much but heard a snippet on NPR and HAD to read the book. That snippet? It is when she described being in the room when Kris Kristopherson taught Bobbie Magee to Janis Joplin.
The things she got to see and do were absolutely amazing to me. The world has changed so much and this type of charmed life is not likely to repeat itself.

Plus one! Yeah, that's a marvelous book! Some years back, we were camping up neat Mount Lassen and after 4 or 5 days decided to head into the nearest town for some supplies. I spied a bookstore and went in and bought a copy of Patti's book and devoured it soon after. A great read, and amazing lady! Reading about Robert Mapplethorpe was interesting and those Chelsea Hotel days were fascinating!
