Mapplethorpe's 1986 portrait of Patti Smith recalls Dürer's 1500 self-portrait... ie, this happened.

old propho smith by mapplethorpe Also...Mick Jagger had this to say about Patti Smith:  "I think it's crap! I think she's so awful...she's full of rubbish, she's full of words and crap. I mean, she's a poseur of the worst kind, intellectual bullshit, trying to be a street girl when she doesn't seem to me to be one, I mean, everything...a useless guitar player, a bad singer, not attractive. She's got her heart in the right place but she's such a POSER! She's not really together musically, she's...all right."
