And what an amazing, soulful homage. What an homage, and a song of the bittersweet and the thankfulness for what she gave us. Thank you for giving us this classic, heartbreaking song.

Thank you, Patti, for acknowledging the pure, visceral, genius of Amy Winehouse. “Genius” is thrown around, but she was it. I am lucky to have been here when she was passing through, and still mourn that our souls have lost the fulfillment nourishment her songs shot straight to our hearts. Your endorsement only solidifies my belief that we are deprived of the future beauty and thrill she could have brought us. Much respect, L Lee

Happy birthday Fred, and happy birthday Amy ❤️🖤

‘This is the Girl’ is one of those songs that felt, when I first heard it, like it had always existed, like I had always known it. It’s beautiful. I love it, the album is a fave.

Thank you Patti. I hope your mini tour goes well.

Happy Birthday to Fred Sonic Smith. And thank you for this wonderful song, written for Amy Winehouse by you and Tony Shanahan. Amy was indeed talented. Cool that Steven Sebring came by to take care of sweet Cairo. Love the work that he did for the documentary, Patti Smith: Dream Of Life. Such an original film. Have a good weekend and enjoy your performances*~~*
