Musical Performance featuring Patti Smith
Patti Smith doesn't have a new album to plug. She just likes San Francisco, and since it's Arthur Rimbaud's birthday Monday and everything, the New York punk icon thought she would stop by to say hello on her way back home from an international tour. "We'll play whatever people want," says Smith, 61. "I'll ask people waiting outside what they want to hear. We'll do songs from 'Horses.' We'll improvise. We'll make the night." Although, if you're really interested in finding out more about the singer who served as a major source of inspiration for U2, R.E.M., Jeff Buckley, 10,000 Maniacs and KT Tunstall, there is a new documentary, "Patti Smith: Dream of Life." Smith plays Monday at the Warfield. -- Aidin Vaziri, San Francisco Chronicle
