 | Thursday saw me as one of about five men in the crowd to see Patti Smith at the Concorde 2 in Brighton (Concorde the First apparently turned out to be a firetrap. This seems to happen a lot in Brighton. I think it's a form of natural selection). She did all the old favourites - "Open Up Your Heart and Let the Sun Shine In", "Living in America", "You Belong in Rock and Roll", the works.
She was also wery complimentary about Brighton, telling the enthusiastic crowd that she plans to retire there, write a book and dedicate it to Graham Greene. I was vaguely hoping to get reports back that at the Union Chapel she told the assembled masses that she was going to come to live in London, write a book and dedicate it to Martin Amis, but no such luck. I hate it when people maintain the integrity of their integrity...
