Patti Smith is nothing but a middle-aged, hairy-armpit version of Avril.

1. And we're supposed to hate Patti Smith becauuuse ....

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. Because the dancing condom has more talent.

BTW..this is tongue in cheek, I'm jumping on the anti-Patti Smith bandwagon as a joke. :hi:

[jonnyblitz]

[JohnKleeb]

3. She's supporting Nader, therefore she's evil

Excuse me while I add her to the ever-expanding boycott list.

I never owned a Patti Smith disc, so im ahead of the game.

[Wat_Tyler]

4. Ah. Shall I get the pitchforks?

[JohnKleeb]

5. how could anyone support Nader?

Christ. Its not as if Kerry is some wishy washy moderate, :shrug: not to mention Ralph takes money from republicans to get on ballots and even thanks them for helping him out.

[Skittles]

7. there's nothing wrong with being middle-aged

and there's nothing.......oh wait - the hairy armpits are indeed disgusting (not a big fan of them on men either - guys, at least TRIM your pit forest).

What is wrong with women not shaving!? Personally I don't think it is that big a deal. Now there would be a flamefest!

Here is a silly song about it courtesy of The Mr. T Experience:

GOd Bless America

Why don't you shave your legs cause a little hair can make a lot of difference much more than whatever you're trying to prove. I know you've got your pride and I know you think it makes a statement and you've got a right to be just as ugly as you want to be. beauty is only skin deep and everybody's beautiful underneath. I believe in that but let's not push it. if you won't do it for me do it for our love for planet earth and the little children. do it for peace and humanity and do it for the United States of America, and baby if you'll only shave your legs the world will be a better place for you for me and for America. God Bless America.

[Beware the Beast Man]

26. I don't like unnecessary hair on anyone

Including myself :)

[soothsayer]

9. Patti Smith is the real thing! Crazy, spooky, shaman----nearly died of an

illness with a very high fever. Came out changed, like Jim Morrison with that Indian's soul going into him.

Patti Rocks!

[jpgray]

12. Her poetry is almost as bad as his

:D

[blondeatlast]

14. Why I love DU

Because you are maybe the tenth person I've found ANYWHERE who finds Morrison overrated.

I'm hooooooooooome...

[jpgray]

16. I do like the Doors, though (nt)

[Wat_Tyler]

17. I like the Doors, just not Jim Morrison.

[tjdee]

18. I'm another.

Jim Morrison and his overrated self are so... overrated.

[soothsayer]

27. wha? you don't dig Doberman pistons in yer poetry? n/t

[asthmaticeog]

13. I saw her as the warm-up act for a Nader speech once.

She was awful. She's lost it. There was nothing compelling, hypnotic or shamanic about her. Since she has committed the cardinal sin of boring asthmaticeog half to tears, she officially sucks pants squeezings. Prior brilliance greatly mitigates the intensity of my scorn, of course, but she's still eminently mock-able, and would be even if she weren't a Nader-raider.

[blondeatlast]

15. ROFL. "Warm-up act for a Nader speech."

OMG. Hysterics.

That phrase speaks volumes.

[tigereye]

22. you should see her more than once AMO

she is mesmerizing when she is on.

[HEyHEY]

19. Uh NO Avril LAvine is a clean cut corpoarate product version of Patti

[tigereye]

24. Avril is not even in the same league Hey Hey

although she appears to actually have some guts, compared to many of her contemporaries.

[mvd]

25. Well, if you like pop, Avril's great at it

Just like Patti's great at a rock, folk, and punk combo. I think they are in the same league in that way, since I do like pop music. I'll end things here with that as I'm not getting into another Avril argument. :hi:

[mvd]

23. They're completely different

I love both. :hi:
