In 2014, Smith offered her opinion on the sexualization of women in music. " Pop music has always been about the mainstream and what appeals to the public. I don't feel it's my place to judge."

We’re meeting via Zoom to discuss her headline concert at the opening of Cop26, and I’m momentarily thrown by the sight of the queen of punk waving at me from her bedroom in New York. But there she is, her thin frame draped in a green shirt, her long silver hair in plaited pigtails on each side of her angular, undone face.

To write something fine, that would be better than I am, and that would justify my trials and indiscretions. To offer proof, through a scramble of words, that God exists” (93). The writer steers the wheel when she can: “Fate has a hand but is not the hand. I was looking for something and found something else, the trailer of a film. Moved by a sonorous though alien voice, words poured” (27). And we must imagine that she is happy. Isn’t this what Camus taught us? This is what Smith does to her devoted readers--she provokes memory, isolation, and the desire to make something out of the mundane. . . . Devotion, though a departure from her previous books, does not deviate from Smith's remarkable gift."--Jerilyn Jordan, Detroit Metro Times

I guess that’s why I’m a wee bit sad when it comes to the fact that she didn’t incorporate more of herself into this, although I do think I understand what she was going for. I didn’t like the short story though, to be honest. I absolutely hate notions of romance and this was with a sixteen year old girl trying to have an affair with an almost forty-year-old man. I don’t like pedophilia, sorry. Overall Thoughts Smith was the subject of a 2008 documentary film by Steven Sebring, Patti Smith: Dream of Life.
