About this listen
In this episode, set in a library, the hosts discuss Patti Smith's book 'Just Kids,' which chronicles her relationship with artist-photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. They cover the serendipitous beginning of Patti and Robert's relationship, their struggles as starving artists, and their eventual ascension to success.
They delve into the details of Patti's early life in South Jersey, her move to New York City, and her encounters with various personalities in the artistic scene, including Allen Ginsberg and Sam Shepard.
The narrative follows Patti and Robert's lives through the Chelsea Hotel period, Robert's exploration of his sexuality, their artistic evolution, and their mutual support system.
It concludes with the somber reality of the AIDS epidemic's impact on their lives and the artistic community. Amid the trials and tribulations, the story remains a poignant tribute to their enduring friendship and artistic journey.
