Patti Smith, rock goddess, as quoted in Uncut, October 2006
My next record's going to be a covers record. I don't want to tell you the songs, but the artists range from Jefferson Airplane and Gene Clark to Tim Buckley and Jimi Hendrix. We did a Nirvana song. My son will play on it, my daughter will play on it, Flea, Paul Simonon, Sam Shepard - hopefully I'll something with Kevin Shields. We want to do a record that pays homage to the people that I've admired and songs I love lyrically. It's Volume 1 of my “thank yous”.
Cool.
