Fans of Patti Smith may be interested to know that Bo Diddley, one of the founding fathers of rock & roll and the popularizer of the world-famous "Bo Diddley beat", has announced that he will be launching his new website and online store this coming Thanksgiving. The website, which with typical idiosyncrasy he has named "Bo Bo Diddley's Turnup Root", is located at http://www.turnup-root.com/

In conjunction with his new website, Bo Diddley is currently also shaping up to release CDs of both brand new recordings as well as a series of exciting limited edition collectors' CDs of previously unreleased archive material recorded in his various home studios during the past 40 years. Right now, visitors to his website can shop online at Bo Diddley's Online Store powered by CafePress.com and purchase a range of cool-looking and exclusive limited edition items including T-shirts and sweatshirts.

For further information, please visit: "Bo Bo Diddley's Turnup Root" at http://www.turnup-root.com/

WOW Patti, I saw you tonight on the TV rally against the upcoming war. If grey hair, yellow teeth, a horrible voice, and pitiful backup musicians means anything, it means nothing. I hope you made yourself feel better, that's what whining liberals do. I'm a real musician, and a real American. I also know, as a musician, from an incredibly discerning ear, you sucked for decades. I'm so sorry you weren't found in the crosshairs of the sniper. Keep whining, and undermining th security of our great Nation, and someday, hopefully you will be.

Samantha Burke 131 Sparks Avenue Gloucester City, NJ 08030 Dear Patty Smith:

My name is Samantha Burke. I’ll admit I don’t know much about you, but I wonder if you remember Bill Kohler who was in your seventh/eighth grade class. He says he was one of your good friends. I am currently in his fifth grade homeroom. He said he teased you, but he knew you were going to be as succesful in writing as you are now. He wants you to know that. Not to mention he talks a lot about you. I wanted to write to you because I want to be an author, too. Sometime this summer I’ll pick up one of your poetry books, since Barnes & Noble is pretty much my home-away-from-home. I want to write novels when I grow up and be as good as you. Hopefully I’ll be the next J.K. Rowling (writer of Harry Potter). Maybe you could even give me some tips. I’m sure I won’t forget you, and I’m positive Mr. Bill Kohler won’t either. Please write back. Sincerely, Samantha Burke Bill Kohler@hotmail.com

PRESS RELEASE: I call for economic sanctions against the Republican Party and their major campaign contributors.

Hello

I have run my website www.boycott-republicans.com for two years. Over 25,000 people have seen the website and about 2,000 people have joined the boycott. I have taken the boycott and created it on the national level against a political party and their major known campaign contributors.

I believe in capitalism and the free market. I will have people vote with their dollars and use the free market to punish and shape the behavior of the Republican Party, whose leaders remain stuck somewhere between the 19th century and 1929. We will take the Republican Party legally hostage along with their major campaign contributors. The party of Lincoln has turned into the party of George Lincoln Rockwell.

I say "No Justice? No Commerce" or "No Commerce without Justice" With boycotts you don't need to worry about police lines and barriers protecting those you want to protest. You just close your wallets to the donors who give money to the Republican Party.

I'm forming a Union. You have no union dues to pay. I have a buyers union for you to join and the benefits will include a better country without the taint of an overly selfish mean Republican Ideology. I find it necessary to make companies accountable for the mean Republican agenda that they fund.

Do you want to see over 40 million people who don't have health care get adequate health care? Do you want people to earn a higher minimum wage so people, not as fortunate as we, will live better? Do you want environmental laws enforced and improved? Do you want safety in the workplace enforced? Do you want unions to continue to help workers and their families? Do you want to see a more humane welfare system set up? Do you want to see more affordable housing constructed? Do you want your other important issues to get addressed?

Then fellow citizens, please join me in going on STRIKE. We're going on Strike against the Republican Party and their major known contributors. We will legally take those companies hostage. I want you to contact the following companies and tell them that you will no longer buy from them until they stop giving money to the Republican Party and their candidates. This includes their Company PACS. You will also not buy from these companies until the Congress and the President pass legislation that meets your issues to your satisfaction. We have a genuinely democratic union because you decide the agenda to demand of these companies to relay to the Republican Party and the pResident and the congress. The following companies give money to the Republican Party.

Please call these companies and demand the following from them to relay to the Republican Party and also tell them you will no longer buy products from them.

Demand that the company and their PACs stop giving money to the Republican Party.

Demand Universal Healthcare as a minimum for every US Citizen.

Demand a higher minimum wage of 10 dollars an hour.

Demand a drug prescription benefit at no extra cost in Medicare.

Demand that your local HMO rescind their latest outrageous premium increase.

Demand a universal voting system providing equal protection under the law for the United States.

Demand Federal legislation prohibiting states from using private companies processing voter rolls tied to a political party and police roadblocks from getting used as a voter suppression tool on election day.

Demand that the illegitimate pResident George W Bush and his vice pResident Dick Cheney resign from office for the fraudulent actions taken by them and their campaign in order to win the 2000 presidential election.

Demand a strong Federal Hate Crimes Law.

Demand the repeal of the 1996 Welfare Law and to pass a Federal Welfare Law that treats those indigent with dignity and respect.

Demand your other concerns.

I suggest you contact the following companies and tell them you will no longer buy from them until they stop giving money to the Republican Party and relay your demands to the Republican Party, the congress, the president, etc. and the demands get met.

Contact:

AT&T 800 225 5288 Coca Cola 800 438 2653 Pepsi Cola 800 433 COLA Shell Oil 800 331 3703 Exxon/Mobil 800 800 2510 American Express 800 528 4800 Marriot Hotels 800 228 9290 JC Penney 800 222 6161 WalMart 800 925 6278 Dell Computers 800 472 3355 866 209 3251 Florida Oranges, Grapefruits, Orange juice and Grapefruit juice and Florida Tourism

You probably gave money to the Republican Party and their candidates today, if you bought any of the above products and services.

Don't make a long distance call using AT&T. Use Working Assets Long Distance service.

Don't drink Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola. Drink RC Cola or A&W Root Beer.

Don't buy gasoline at a Shell Oil or Exxon/Mobil Gas station. Buy gas and have your car repaired somewhere else.

Don't use an American Express Card. Use another credit card.

Do not stay at a Marriot Hotel. Stay at another Hotel.

Don't shop at JC Penney or WalMart. You can find another place to shop.

Don't buy a Dell Computer. You can buy a Compaq or another good computer.

Don't buy Florida Oranges, Grapefruits, Orange juice and Grapefruit juice and avoid travelling to Florida if you can. Buy citrus products from California and vacation in California.

Do we have to boycott every Republican contributor? No, just the popularly known major ones because we take them legally hostage and you don't need to take every company legally hostage to leverage a liberal agenda. Does it matter that these companies give money to the Democratic Party? No because when you punish them financially they will have to relay your demands to Republicans and Democrats.

Stop indirectly giving your money to the Republican Party. Otherwise don't complain about how the Republican leaders promote their mean harsh decades old agenda with a tradition that began before the Great Depression in the late 1920's. Talk about stuck in the sixties. The Republicans remain stuck somewhere between the 19th century and 1929.

On the internet browse www.boycott-republicans.com and use the mail form to join the boycott and send your message to the media and the Republican officials.

I hope you can volunteer to get out the message about this website because we need to cut off money to the Republican Party in order to force congress to do a more liberal agenda.

Please pass the word. Why wait until election day to influence the agenda. Join a big buyers union and use the influence of your purchases every day. That's how Gandhi brought the British down and gained Independence for India. That's how Mandela brought down the National Party in South Africa. We can do this to bring down the Republican Party in America. That's how Martin Luther King Jr. advanced civil rights in America and that's how Moses delivered the Jewish people from Egypt.

The party of Lincoln has turned into the party of George Lincoln Rockwell.

"We don't need less government, We need less mean selfish Republicans in government"

Thank you.

Hi hello, when my husband and me fell in love 20 years ago "Frederick" was our most favourite song and we decided that in case we should have a son anytime in our life he should receive this name. On June 20 this year it finally happend and now there is Frederick in our life. Therefore we remember more often the beginning of our story which is closely connected with your song. The first and only time we enjoied a concert of yours was in 1996 (or 97?)in Prague. We liked it very much! Thank you for your music and especially for "Frederick". We wish you all the best.

Hey Patti!!!

a good friend of mine was in Montreux last days and heard you say that we must fight ourselves in this world.

I don't know if you are always in Switzerland. If it is the case, il would be a great honour if you could come in a church in Lausanne. For 3 months now, 9 people from Kosovo are there refugees because the police want to throw them away from Switzerland.A mouvement of Swiss people protect them and is called "En 4 ans on prend racine" ( approximatively: In 4 years we have some attaches)

They live here for 5 or even 12 years in Switzerland. Now the war is over and the Swiss government want them to go away, even if they have built a life here.

We need all the soldarity to win this battle. There are 160 Kosovars who are in the same situation. They only ask for some papers and not to be pushed away like criminals in a country completely destroyed.

They don't want to become "clandestino" or "Sans-papiers".

Another church is occupied in Fribourg for nearly 2 months and they are now threatened to be push out by the police.

So, if you could come to visit us (if you are always near Lausanne or Fribourg), it would be a great pleasure. Even a little word will be also very kind.

If you want more information you can find us on the web:

www.refuge-kosovo.ch

My email is yves.sancey@iepi.unil.ch

I thank you already very much for all what you do and the energy you give to the people who meet you. I hope to see you or hear from you.

No human is illegal

best salutations

Yves

Hi Patti! Or anyone who reads this... I´d like to tell U all to keep the good work going on, or whatever U may call it. Do good things, have fun, enjoy yourself, be happy so that the ones that come after also will be happy, kiss and hug and tell each other nice, uplifting words, it may sound strange in beginning, but soon it will shine like the sun in your minds and hearts and bodys also. So, take care all people out there. Love/Mike fr. Sweden

Bob Dylan once said that the greatest thing you could do for someone was to inspire them. I think of that often when I think of the effect that you have had on me for 23 years now. I was 15 when I discovered PSG & Patti (first Easter, then Babel, then Horses, Radio Ethiopia et al). It was like a shockwave of spirit and recognition and light and a great thing for me as a girl, whose only role model at the time was Bob Dylan. Your art gave rise to many eureka moments. Although I didn't know wasabi at the time, I can say that the effect was similar- a hot gusher of aha! spitting from my crown. Anyway, the point of this description was just to let you know how powerful and important an inspiration you were on a young budding life and how resonant that inspiration remains. You helped me grow (up) and you stood as an example of possibilities. I saw uncompromising integrity in everything I observed about you (spirit, attitude, heart, intensity, love, honor, power). I am much the richer for your having lived and shared your ideas, music, writing, art. I thank you from my core. Anita Brown Elks anitabrown.elks@gte.net

OMG!!!! Pure rock!!!!!!!! You have been my favorite female artist since I can't remember! You totally rock! I even remember seeing you on the Mike Douglas show, you blew me away. That is when I discovered your music. Nobody does it like you. This is so cool. Way back then I only knew one other person who was into you. Damn your good! lisa in pa!!! laf1545@hotmail.com

greeting patti- i'll try not to make this sound like a cliché fan-mail... as a child of the 80's, born in communist romania and having moved to most tranquil/neutral/un-revolutionary sweden i would like to give you all of my admiration for standing on the barricades- not merely for the "fight"...but in the name of art. it is hard to be a carrier of the message in times of apathy, where art has been commercialized and spiritualism is represented by hollywood stars, who convert from scientology to buddhism... and so on. but the word lives on in some of us, thanks to the great sources of inspiration-"steppenwolf"s like yourself. love, ana-maria

"The Chrystal Ship" for Patti

Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss, another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle rain The time I ran was too insane We'll meet again, we'll meet again

So tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die Deliver me from reasons why You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls, a thousand thrills A million ways to spend your time When we get back, I'll drop a line

(The Doors)

I was working in Amnesty International in Bilbao, Spain, in the case of two nuns who are in prision in Tibet just to sing songs for the freedom of their country, and I had to write many letters, and I always used to play 1959, that did help a lot

Patti, I just want to say thank you. Saw you in Birmingham, AL on the Wave tour in '77. I dragged my young friend to see you in Chicago in the spring at the Riv. I went with fear and joy in my heart, I was afraid I wouldn't be blown away again. I stood there and looked at the crowd and I saw people my age (42) and grinned like an idiot. Look ma, they didn't grow out of it either. You came out on stage smilin this huge smile, it was so good to see you happy. And you blew me away. The energy you raised on stage was something I hadn't seen since seeing Bob Marley perform in New Orleans way back when. And when you talked about dandelions, political activism, etc. I realized we're still on the same page. Thank you, bless you. My friend turned to me after the show and said now I get it. Keep up the good fight and rage sister, rage. Our daughters will remember you. Love You, Sally At Minx1d@Netscape.net

To Patti Smith, My name is Joe Lawler, I'm the editor of the literary magazine at the University of Tampa. It's my job to find an author or poet to bring to the university to give a reading and to workshop poetry with a small group of students. I'm wondering if you would have any interest in such an activity? The event is held on from a Thursday to a Saturday in early February. My e-mail is quilt_editor@hotmail.com. Thank you very much.

Patti, have someone you know go to my "How I Started the First Church of the Doors" web site and print out my article so you can see how I write (I'm freaking funny)and see the things I say about how you've shaped my life since the '70's (eighteen, then; 42 now) and then drop me a note because, among other things, you guys need me to play keyboards for you and I need some tiny break if I'm to hold onto this thing called desire.
