I love Patti Smith and have followed her since I was a teenager in NYC in the late 70s. I was lucky to see her and her original band at CBGB's a number of times. A film about her, called Dream Of Life is making the rounds of the film festivals and will be out on DVD in January. It was made in conjunction with PBS and will be shown by them during fund raising next year as well. The film covers almost 15 years of her life and has no narration-only the voices of Patti and the people surrounding her. I'm on the mailing list from her website and this morning and email with the subject line:

Patti Smith's Indictment of George W Bush  

was in my inbox. The email contained a link to a youtube clip. The clip is a 4 minute long section of the movie in which Patti reads an indictment of Bush for "befouling the name of our country"

I promise you it's worth watching.
