Patti Smith Interview: Advice to the Young | Louisiana Channel

[@AgentQQ8]

"Build a good name, do good work." Solid advice.

[@pakababy3710]

I applied every word she said to my line of work and let the words infiltrate into my heart. I have loved her since "Horses".

[@V5809]

Ironically, the most "punk rock" thing someone could do is saying "fuck you" to punk rock lmao. She really IS the godmother of punk. Iconic.

[@esplanie5119]

She's so beautiful in every possibile way. Wonderful woman.

[@petercallan4991]

Emilia Gondek you cannot be serious surely patti isn't she's an idiot

[@claudiocruzat7667]

She looks a bit like J.Scotti,lead guitar from Skid Row. XD

[@esplanie5119]

For me she's attractive. Like really. She has something special in her look

[@VaniaJunqueira-nf2qi]

I agree. She is wonderful! Great and attractive too! What's attractive means to us? Let's put our hands on our mind and that will be clear for us.

[@decaffeinatedafrican5997]

[@meganhussey972]

Amazing woman; I love how the interviewer just sits and lets her speak, soaking in her wisdom with the crowd,

[@WhattheRuck]

I love her. These are the people who we need to look up to and admire. I love her spirit so much....

[@tomhamilton5261]

A true poet and philosopher as well as a talented musician. Peace.

[@ВладиславОдинокоболезненномечт]

Yes. She's shaman

[@abigailhe7729]

I'm now going through a hard time in my life as an artist. This video really made me cry.

[@CrayonsForLiving]

Abigail He Hang in there! Hope you're doing better now 🍀

[@StorieGrubb]

don't stop Abigail. Just keep on keeping on. :)

[@MS-sj7zx]

Here, here. I'm in the same boat. I hope that we can grow from this.

[@slaughterhousecry]

Same. Hang in there 💕

[@bettybever1831]

Abigail...thank you for sharing...art is never easy... you know it's a double-edged sword. We have the gift, and it's also a curse. Please do your best to stay healthy...be kind, to yourself and others...hope you are still there, and if you live for art, as I do, we owe it to ourselves to survive, and live to tell...by all means, you are welcome to contact me anytime, via email, or via fb. Please take care.

[@billenglish6352]

True artist. The work fulfills. Patti is saintly in her loving sincerity. In a world where everyone lies, she speaks the truth. A true angel.

[@Adipsia1]

Patti is incredibly grounded and inspiring at the same time.

[@mysticwritr]

Patti Smith gives such poignant yet simple advice to the young, but I think it speaks to anyone who realizes their potential in this world as a human being. This shining star of a human poet has lived.

[@KA-hm2id]

Selling out is only when you create something because it will sell. Being famous and selling out aren't the same.

[@EphemeralProductions]

indeed

[@asd-foot-lettuce94]

[@undersolo]

The only ones who do not sell out are the ones you have never heard of.

[@zrizzle19]

@@undersolo No. You can become famous without selling out

[@ThatHipsterTy]

This is honestly the most inspiring video I have watched... I always come back to this video for her words of wisdom

[@ReneCapone510]

Me too - six times. Very inspiring words. I think she is amazing.

[@r.trenary4589]

This is my go to "having a bad day" video. It always helps me get my head on straight when I'm feeling overwhelmed

[@peterfinn4656]

to right

[@KP-ul2ep]

I think this is really what I needed to hear. Sometimes I get desperate and lose focus on my goals, but it's true that you should just do it, go for it, even if you're only fan.

[@JBBost]

+Sainte Ann There'll be time to rest when we're dead so lets fucking go for it!!!!

[@carathebaker]

+Sainte Ann These were words I needed to hear. Patti Smith has always been my idol and to hear her say "yeah, it's not easy, life's not easy but do what you love" is inspirational!

[@tullulah5294]

Yes !!!!! Yes yes ❤

[@PDN11141]

Patti gives the truth about life here. Life is shorter than most people imagine, A squirrel arrived in my garden this morning and gave me a big smile!

[@MoscowOnFire]

She's so wise, I love her

[@ВладиславОдинокоболезненномечт]

She's enchantress

[@ComradeStiv]

The very embodiment of raw unadorned honest punk attitude. No one deserves the title punk godmother more than our dearest Patti. She breaks my heart every time she speaks or performs and I love her to the moon.

[@belhypotheque6417]

How wise she is. Her memoir ‘just kids’ was so beautifully written. A true poet

[@JonathanNelsonOfficial]

Patti is an angel. She's brought a lot of peace to my life in a mothering sort of way.

[@ValBlanc19]

I listen to this everyday. I'm an adult now but I was never given this advice - it was always that I had to look a certain way or do certain things to please other people in order to live a 'good' life. It's thanks to artists and writers (like Patti) who have shaped me and my world view. I was taught by them to be free and independent.

[@mhmamun1335]

She has such an inspirational speech for who wants to be creative.

[@allisonrogers1409]

I want my 18 year-old daughter to see this. I wish someone would have given me similar guidance when I was "young". May have influenced me away from all the wrong turns I made.

[@tullulah5294]

Stay strong ! Life is sweet and love is all around ! What side of this reality are you in ? There's never been a better time to dream all possibilities! Thank uuuuu Patti smith !

[@oldsweetshop5613]

She is amazing. So wise, so whole, so truthful. Gotta love her

[@danielamartinezmasliah9149]

This made me cry. Love you Patti

[@eva.olivari]

Oh Patricia, you've always been my north star 🌟

[@martindoll5204]

What makes her so beautiful to me is the fact that she is real and honest in a time were people are fake and think that we should worship them. That is why I think she is beautiful

[@AlanWinterboy]

Love this. Tears. Required watching for any creative.

[@lindakouvaras5231]

such a positive person, and a true poet… when she spoke in Melbourne at her gig just as the GFC was happening, she was a healing balm

[@brucegelman8113]

keep your good name.Integrity is what you will remember most on your death bed.Not Fame or Money but your integrity.And have fun goddamit.Thanks Patti.

[@ChristianGLee]

All those tears that have been stuck in anger, fear, self-harm, doom, for a year - probably 3,4,5... all those ones came welling down in the sea of words of Patricia Lee Smith. You've saved me from moments, tonight you possibly saved me from the worst - myself. xx

[@sara-rc2hr]

Hope you are safe, stay here.. happiness comes around

[@Cristasphoto]

Frickin I ADORE Patti Smith!!

[@rainyday4970]

I have been reading Patti's books, listening to her albums, and studying her poetry and biography lately, and my respect and admiration for her increase as I go. And she and Robert Mapplethorpe had the kind of love I wish I could find.

[@PerKiller]

I never had clear goals, dreams, just a knowledge that I have a lot of power and potential but I never knew what to do with it, and at times that made me feel so low.. I am currently embracing what she is saying about just do what you want and accept that life is a package of both joy and suffering.

[@transylvanianite3391]

"Frederick " hit song the most memorable song Pattie sang it so well, beautiful woman and beautiful singer.

[@susanafernandes8654]

[@Pretermit_Sound]

So much wisdom in one person. In some ways it doesn’t even seem fair (I say that with the utmost respect and admiration), but the amount of experience you have to cram into one lifetime to have a mind like her’s would probably break most of us. Thank you Patti 😊✌🏻🇺🇸

[@jeffreykicia6534]

I love Patti Smith since she began her career and always followed her. She is so deep and philosophy in her belief system of life experience. In my humble opinion, she rises to the tier of a near Genius. Not only is she beautiful inside, but beautiful outside of herself with no inhibitions,of which she does NOT hold back. Lastly, boy what a true Artist of real ideals that are based on concrete life.

[@pannamal5182]

She might not want to hear this, but, GOD BLESS YOU!

[@egodust11]

Solid, real, uncompromising, loving,..

[@AlOne-xg6dv]

Very nice philosophy agent Smith. The Matrix is also a way to give the power back to the people. I appreciate you and your music. Thank you. The Young will benefit from your wisdom. 🙏

She and Laurie Anderson are here to inspire us.

Patti provides encouragement to people who care about the truly important things. Her words: "People have the power to redeem the work of fools." It is important that messages of hope and inspiration continue to come from artists with integrity who have earned our trust and admiration.

[@151621]

Good God, i love this woman, she is essence in all aspects not just an image, this kind of woman is what this world we live in needs urgently . With a thousand of Patti Smith we would be happier.

[@itsmarialifestyle4355]

Very wise advice, to the young and old I would say, very insightful. Brilliant!

[@Transient901]

Maria Chat I love Patti Smith and what she has to say. Too bad that the people who control communication technology also can control what is put on the net and also make sure things they do not want the people to hear,...... that they will not hear. or read.

[@itsmarialifestyle4355]

James W. Barrett I was hoping that the Internet was that one place that people could upload information and search for information and be selective about it. People choose not to listen, that's my experience so far.

[@Transient901]

Maria Chat you can't listen to something you cannot hear because it's been removed and deleted from the artificial information network. Not trying to argue your point or say its not possible. it just will not happen on a government controlled and monitored network. or maybe you just don't understand the complexity of technology and how easily it can be modified or monitored. And the internet started as a military communication system for the sole purpose of realtime information sharing world wide for the purpose of..... well you ponder why the war machine would want to be on the same page we the same time..

I've always LOVED Patti Smith .. ever since I heard the Horses album way back in the day! .. But, lately, I've been kind of rediscovering her for myself. Now I'm looking forward to reading her memoir books. .. and wow, this video, what she says here .. she basically says it all doesn't she. .. Such a pure, honest, beautiful spirit. I love her.

[@vincentmaldon7707]

Great interviewer - doesn't interrupt her with lots of questions.

[@ThePwaro]

Yeah I wish there were moments like that on "regular" TV all over the world. Instead people are forced to half-ass their ideas out, no room for nuances, for real talk, for thinking out loud and giving time to let it sink in. That's one of the reasons we have so much hate, so much frustration and so many simplistic ideas flying around I think. There are many more wise "public figures" out there I'm sure, it's just very very hard to find them.
