35. “I’m not Patti Smith. This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel” | Bookclub on Just Kids

from Licensed Poetics · host Fung-Ling and Derek

This week, BFL and Derek read a musician’s memoir, Just Kids by Patti Smith, which is famously referenced in The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift. They start off the episode by discussing BFL’s relationship struggles (?!?!), then they open up about the conceit of being an artist, before reacting to some scornful Goodreads reviews of their new favourite book. It’s a special episode.Chapters00:00 Intro04:21 Why this book?31:40 XYZ question46:43 Artist’s conceit55:20 Goodreads reviews
