Memory lapses
from Patti Smith · host Patti Smith
So I suddenly remember what I was saying when suddenly a portrait of Waltraud Meirer and myself obscured my Photo Booth. . It was the Brooklyn Bridge accident. I worried it might the bridge might be closed down but it wasn’t and it looked as beautiful as ever. So sorry for the two deceased crew members and hopes for a speedy recovery for all those injured. I just decided to include Waltraud’s beautiful Leibestod at La Scala in December 2007. The staging proved to be one of the most exquisite things I ever witnessed. So perhaps spend some time with her unsurpassable performance. This Substack is reader-supported. To receive new posts and support the work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
