age of consent
November 26, 2017 08:09AM
I was listening to a Patti Smith live bootleg recorded in 1978. At one point, she says between songs "My band doesn't fuck anyone under 21." Sadly, I can only imagine a female rock musician saying this onstage at that point in time.

I thought you were going to quote the New Order song.

I think New Order's title was inspired by a 1969 film by Michael Powell, as well as actual ages of consent.

I wonder what compelled Patti to make such a statement about her band from the stage. Was there a particular scandal involving a rock star and an underage girl, making the news at that time? Or is it more of a statement on Patti's disgust with the whole scene?

Elsewhere in her between-song comments she says she's in favor of "{N-word} rights."

Patti was punk only in certain ways
one was provocation
see: her early poetry
