Patti Smith On TV In 1978, Just Because
It's important to remember, in this day and age, in this post-post-Osama world, that there will never be anything crazier than TV was in the 1970s. There were about 7000 talk shows, and they had to book and they had to book whoever was available. Like Patti Smith, who is in the video above on the Mike Douglas show to promote her poetry book, and ends up telling incoherent anecdotes and looking at herself in the monitors. And coughing a lot. And talking boxing. This would be part of a documentary you are shooting that makes no sense (Joaquin Phoenix) if it happened today. But this is normal back then, apparently. It's hard to articulate how insane this is.
