Q&A with Patti Smith

Q&A with Patti Smith 04/01/2005 12:24 PM
Xeni Jardin: Newsweek's Brian Braiker interviews the high priestess of punk, Patti Smith. She is my idol. I am her biggest fan EVAR, and have been since, like, age 12. If there is an emoticon for bowing, consider it inserted. Snip:

What’s your take on the possible closure of CBGB?
Patti Smith: I have various thoughts on it. I have the Jackie Onassis spirit of preservation of our historic architecture. One of the things that has drawn so many people down to the Bowery area—the people living there and the housing and shops and all of the revitalization of that area—was CBGB. In those days the Bowery was skid row, there was nothing there but bums. People just didn’t go there. It wasn’t real dangerous; it was winos and hobos. They set the big trash cans on fire at night so they could warm

What does the club mean to you?
I went down there on Easter 1974, [guitarist] Lenny Kaye and I went there to see [the rock band] Television, and there were about 11 people there. It was like a dream come true, the whole situation. It was a little bar, there weren’t any grown-ups; you didn’t feel that the mafia was there. You weren’t forced to drink expensive stuff you didn’t want. And Television was a revelation. It was for me a pivotal night of my life, walking into CBGB and seeing Television. It resonated all the possibilities of our youth, what we were doing, what we were attempting to do.

What was that?
Our philosophy was that rock and roll should be a cultural voice and not glamorized. It didn’t belong to the rich and famous; it belonged to the people. It was the perfect place for us to excite each other and incite people and develop what we were doing. It’s sad for me to see CBGB’s close down because it really hasn’t changed at all, that’s the other beautiful thing. The same murals are up on the wall. It hasn’t gotten any better. The sound system hasn’t really gotten much better. The smell hasn’t gotten much better. It’s the same place. Actually I think Lenny and I are going to play there on May Day. It’s just a little job. We’re just going to play to thank CBGB’s, thank the walls, thank the stage. We’re just doing it to touch those walls again.

Vietnam and Farewell

Vietnam and Farewell 12/19/2004 03:40 PM
Thanks, again, for all the terrific comments on the O'Reilly show. I've learned a lot from them. I may write an op-ed about the experience. But for now, a few words about Vietnam. By the time we got to 1968, it was no longer possible to imagine a criminal prosecution of Gene McCarthy for opposing the war. Constitutional law and American culture had progressed to the point that it would have been unthinkable for the Johnson or Nixon administration to have treated antiwar leaders the way we once treated people like Matthew Lyon, Clement Vallandigham and Eugene Debs. But this doesn't mean the government couldn't find other ways to attack dissent. Prosecutions for draft-card burning, flag burning, and the public use of offensive language were frequently directed against antiwar protestors, not because the "crimes" were worth punishing, but because it was a way of "getting" those who offended government officials. More important, the government initiated an aggressive series of undercover programs -- COINTELPRO ("counterintelligence programs) designed to "expose, disrupt, and neutralize" the antiwar movement. FBI agents and confidential informants infiltrated antiwar organizations at every level to gather the names of those who opposed the nation's policy. When all was said and done, the government had compiled dossiers on half-a-million Americans. But the goal was not just to create files. It was to act against those who had the temerity to challenge the government. The Nixon administration launched IRS audits of those who contributed to antiwar organizations, the FBI sent letters to the landlords of antiwar activists informing them that their tenant was a "Communist," it sent anonymous letters to colleges and universities accusing antiwar activists of drug violations, it encouraged local police agencies to arrest war opponents for traffic and other offenses, and so on. The FBI also sent anonymous letters to members of antiwar organizations accusing other members of embezzling the organization's fund, sleeping with the partners of other members, and even being FBI agents. The goal was to confuse, demoralize, distract, and discredit those who opposed the war, without doing anything that could be seen. None of this was known to the public until 1972. Finally, a word about the Supreme Court. As we saw, in World War I, the Court upheld the convictions of antiwar protestors under the Espionage and Sedition Act. During World War II, the Court upheld the Japanese internment in Korematsu v. United States. During the Cold War, the Court in Dennis v. United States, decided in 1951, upheld the convictions of the leaders of the Communist Party of the United States on a charge that they had "conspired to advocate" the violent overthrow of government. As Justice Douglas put the point at the time, the Court had decided to "run with the wolves." This is not a very happy record. Indeed, the conventional wisdom is that the Supreme Court will never resist the executive branch in wartime. This is overstated. During World War II, the Court held unconstitutional the efforts of the Roosevelt administration to deport American fascists; during the second half of the Cold War the Court took a strong stand against McCarthyism; during the Vietnam War, the Court rejected the Nixon administration's effort to enjoin the publication of the Pentagon Papers and rejected its claim that it had a constitutional power to engage in national security wiretaps without a warrant. Most recently, the Court rejected the extreme claims of the Bush administration with respect to the rights of the Guantanamo Bay detainees and the rights of American citizens held as "enemy combatants" by the United States military. We should not expect too little of the Supreme Court. Ultimately, though, the protection of civil liberties depends on an informed, determined, and courageous public. As Louis Brandeis once observed, "courage is the secret of liberty." May you all have the courage of your convictions. As Larry said when he introduced me, this is my virgin blog. It was great fun for me, and I hope he'll invite me back again sometime. I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year. Geof Stone

Farewell to 2004 12/24/2004 12:10 PM

Another year of gaming goodness has passed us by and another is on its way. It’ll be tough for 2005 to top 2004, what with Half Life 2, World of Warcraft, Halo 2 and Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War being only a few of the great titles we’ve had to choose from. Have we been spoiled? Can 2005 possibly match 2004? All we can do is wait and see. So, until next year, here’s some recent news and a few looks back at the past 12 months.

A Fond Farewell

A Fond Farewell 03/06/2004 02:03 AM

Farewell, my lovely...

Farewell, my lovely... 12/05/2003 11:27 AM

And so with a deep sigh I have consigned my beautiful Powerbook (which has been with me a such a very little time) back to the welcoming arms of Mother Apple. My child needs to be fixed. The strange mottling blotchiness of his screen had become worse and worse as the days passed by until they resembled nothing so much as a pair of staring blank eyes - evil eyes - that hovered in front of every piece of work I did, every movie I watched, every e-mail I sent. It's so difficult with beautiful computers - you love them (like a child), training and working with them until you operate as one (like a family) until eventually they betray you (like a child all over again). But when they turn sour that good feeling stays with you for longer - it's so difficult to do what must be done but do it you must. They must be sent off to faraway scientists who'll open them up with strange devices, rooting around in everything that makes them what they are and forcing their silicon biology back to standards that their parents can live with. They must be brought back to civilised behaviour whatever the cost.

Data may be lost - I accept that. The Powerbook that I gave to the rather nice-looking man from UPS may not feel or be quite the same when it returns. It will have been changed, fixed, broken and reformed. But when it returns it will work - and work it must - for I have typing to do.

More than 16 years since its original debut, HyperCard was pulled from Apple's site towards the end of last month (March 2004). Created by Bill Atkinson of the original Macintosh team, HyperCard was a kind of easy-to-use, visual database system / programming environment that put custom application development into the hands of the average person. It was one of the very first applications to implement the concept of hypertext / hyperlinking / hypermedia. Originally offered freely to all Mac users, HyperCard was embraced by so many and became the vehicle of so much custom development that even the author was taken aback.

Watson bids Sherlock farewell

Watson bids Sherlock farewell 09/25/2004 11:37 AM
When Apple took the wraps off Jaguar in 2001, one of the features that garnered the most amount of criticism was the new and improved Sherlock, which Steve toted as "Internet services for the rest of us." Sherlock 3 incorporated mini browsers into OS X, which brought commonly-used, customizable information to a user’s fingertips: <I>Sherlock is dramatically better than standard Web browsers at retrieving and displaying some of the most practical and useful information available on the Internet, like stock news, general headlines, movie previews, locations and show times, yellow pages listings, eBay auction activity and much, much more. Sherlock displays each of these 'channels' in its own arrangement of columns and panes.</I> The only problem was, it already existed. Of course, arguments can be made for both sides, and a case can certainly be made for a logical evolution of Sherlock, but the fact remains that Watson and Sherlock 3 accomplish the same tasks with similar interfaces. Over the last three years, Watson and Sherlock have coexisted in the same space — like Google and Yahoo, or Vienna Fingers and Oreo Uh-Ohs!, users were left to choose between brand recognition, color, taste, size, shape and speed. And as of next Tuesday, it'll be all gone. Watson support will be dropped (and it looks like its buyer, Sun, won't be releasing its own port anytime soon). Its tools will be left to fester and whither while Sherlock quietly rests on the top of the heap. It seems that Apple has won and can now focus on its upcoming fight with the Konfabulator crew. Perhaps things could’ve been different if Apple had approached Watson’s creator Dan Wood and offered him some compensation — or a job. For many of you, Oct. 5 will come and go without a second glance. Sherlock will still be there when you’re looking for a bite to eat or are in the mood for a late-night movie. For the rest of us, who have seen the dust accumulate on Sherlock since it stopped searching our hard drive, the decline and demise of Watson will be a fond memory that will always hold place in our computing history, marking one of the few who refused to back down in the face of a corporate shadow, and showed third-party developers everywhere that just because someone else can do it, doesn't mean they can do it better. On behalf of Watson users everywhere, Mr. Wood, we await your next creation.
