The Iron Rose (1973)

Patti Smith, 1976, by Lynn Goldsmith.

“I don’t consider writing a quiet, closet act: I consider it a real physical act. When I’m home writing on a typewriter, I go crazy. I move like a monkey. I’ve wet myself. I’ve come in my pants writing….Instead of shooting smack, I masturbate – fourteen times in a row…I start seeing Aztec mountains…I see weird things. I see temples, underground temples, with the doors opening, sliding door after sliding door, Pharaoh revealed – this bound-up Pharaoh with ropes of gold. That’s how I write a lot of my poetry.”

~ Patti Smith in 1971, from Patti Smith: An Unauthorized Biography, by Victor Bockris and Roberta Bayley

Grace Jones & Dolph Lundgren.

I’ve always found them to be such a striking pair. Grace, with her disruptive artistry and razor sharp beauty. Dolph, with his silently strong presence. One dynamic lover, begets another.
