Praise for Why Patti Smith Matters “This book is a book for the people. All of us. Every one of us. Yes—even you. It is a lovingly crafted devotional to Patti Smith’s truthful genius and her vast contribution to global culture from over half a century. As one of the most beloved and revered artists of our times and the last of her kind, Smith's importance and creative influence cannot be overstated.“ —Shirley Manson “Why Patti Smith Matters overflows with energy and verve. Caryn Rose is that smart girlfriend who guides you through the music, showing how Smith lit the way to new possibilities.“ —Gayle Wald, author of Shout, Sister, Shout! The Untold Story of Rock-and-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe “Why Patti Smith Matters is a perfect blend of deep research, fine-tuned musical analysis, incisive biography, and personal reflection. Caryn Rose doesn’t shy away from difficult aspects of Smith’s work, but she’s a trustworthy guide and her fandom illuminates in tandem with the criticism. Feminists of all ages--and genders--will welcome this thoughtful portrait of an icon.“ —Holly George-Warren, author of Janis: Her Life and Music
