I visited Barcelona a few years ago. The Sagrada Familia had me scratch my head. It confused me to no end with elevations that looked like a myriad of architects made soup out of it. Barcelona itself, with its' meandering streets and alleys made me feel like a child in a maze, wonderful. What really struck me was the palpable struggle between the Spanish and Catalans, sad really.

Hey Patti -

Kindly following your sub-stack and reading your words , listening to your albums, sound walk collective, Lenny Kaye at rough trade! a small book titled William Blake and Patti smith - number 23 of 25, the Albert hall.

Thankyou! Always searching for more and Excited for what’s next.

Your book recommendations from sub-stack are enlightening - especially the anchor anthology of french poetry - The nightingale by Paul Verlaine.. so lovely.

Nice back stage for you and the crew! Perhaps one of the nicest areas back stage that you’ve encountered. A nice place to rest, contemplate and nourish yourselves before you and the band kick off a show. The people at Stuttgart seem divine. Keep on keeping on and charging up the people!! Oh, you left us some time ago to remind you of the resting place of Gogol and Bulgakov. The timing to remind you may be off since you are touring and everything but it just occurred to me for some strange reason. So, if you have time let us know. Have a great tour!

Hope to see you again very soon ~**~

Hi Patti - I live in spain enjoying the sun and the moon and the sea. We booked to go to London next month to see you at the Festival in Alexander Park but received an email today that you have changed your london date to the Palladium which is a seated theatre. I have been going to your gigs for nearly fifty years and am so disappointed that this year we will have to sit in a theatre instead of dancing on the grass in the sun Can you explain to us why this has been rearranged ? Thank you so much - I am feeling really sad about it
