Patti Smith looks back over her whole career, and reveals the inspiration behind her new album Banga, in an unprecedentedly frank interview in the new issue of Uncut, out on Tuesday (May 22).
The best I can say in pitiful mitigation of my frequently poor behaviour at the time is that in those days I was not easily embarrassed and usually up for anything, a sorry mix. Anyway, it's October 1976. Patti Smith's just released her new album, Radio Ethiopia.
