list of things lost (addendum)
03-Oct-07
elsewhere i am writing on loss and i have started a list there of all the things i’ve lost – at three thirty this morning i woke up remembering another item to add to the list : the patti smith piss factory single on the original mer label (and the stanley single by snatch!) were in that box of singles i sold for $100 at newtown markets when i was a desperate student in the late eighties … damn! i wonder how much that would be worth now … and also : i love that song … i lie there for about half an hour thinking about it in the dark night … the original piss factory single on the mer label … bought by me in 1976 … in the rough trade shop in london …
…
i no longer have it … damn damn damn!!
ah well … but i was there … priceless … as the credit card ads say
and here is the song :
(elsewhere i have written – as have others – about why patti smith mattered)
