Man! This is epic. She's irreplaceable, still, we need more Patti's.

She doesn’t seem to force anything our society imposed as female on herself & she’s absolutely empowering. She shines.

The second time she sang 'Do the Watusi' and looked at the guitar player. She had that moment of pure joy. Her smile says it all. I've always loved this performance. When I was a kid i sussed the bit when she swore and that was epic. But later on, when I was getting my chops as a teen..I understood more. It's very deep in my heart.

I fucking LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW she looks here. I had a dream that her and I moved to New York and had this mature relationship and we talked about having male and female friends and how we got jealous and how that affected us, and she introduced me to Michael stipe from REM and I got jealous that they were friends even though I knew he was gay. then I woke up in a bed alone in a sober house in Maine because I'm a junkee. truth.. that was last year lol

The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating Another boy was sliding up the hallway He merged perfectly with the hallway, He merged perfectly, the mirror in the hallway The boy looked at Johnny, Johnny wanted to run, But the movie kept moving as planned The boy took Johnny, he pushed him against the locker, He drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in Johnny The boy disappeared, Johnny fell on his knees, Started crashing his head against the locker, Started crashing his head against the locker, Started laughing hysterically When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by Horses, horses, horses, horses Coming in in all directions White shining, silver studs with their nose in flames, He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses. Do you know how to pony like bony maroney Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator And you twist the twister like your baby sister I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, dig your baby sister Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee, Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control, Got to lose control and then you take control, Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that, Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that, Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi Life is filled with holes, Johnny's laying there, in his sperm coffin Angel looks down at him and says, "Oh, pretty boy, Can't you show me nothing but surrender?" Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket, Taped to his chest there's the answer, You got pen knives and jack knives and Switchblades preferred, switchblades preferred Then he cries, then he screams, saying Life is full of pain, I'm cruisin' through my brain And I fill my nose with snow and go Rimbaud, Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud, And go Johnny go, and do the watusi, oh do the watusi There's a little place, a place called space It's a pretty little place, it's across the tracks, Across the tracks and the name of the place is you like it like that, You like it like that, you like it like that, you like it like that, And the name of the band is the Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes Baby calm down, better calm down, On the night, in the eye of the forest There's a mare black and shining with yellow hair, I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair, I didn't waste time, I just walked right up and saw that Up there, there is a sea Up there, there is a sea Up there, there is a sea The sea's the possibility There is no land but the land (Up there is just a sea of possibilities) There is no sea but the sea (Up there is a wall of possibilities) There is no keeper of the key (Up there there are several walls of possibilities) Except for one who seizes possibilities, one who seizes possibilities. (Up there) I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor I felt his hand on my knee (On the screen) And I looked at Johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame (In the heart of man) The waves were coming in like Arabian stallions Gradually lapping into sea horses He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat(The spoon) And let it deep in (The veins) Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities (It started hardening) Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities I put my hand inside his cranium, oh we had such a brainiac-amour But no more, no more, I gotta move from my mind to the area (Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud) And go Johnny go and do the watusi, Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi Shined open, coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling Our lives are now entwined, we will fall yes we're together twining Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse And my fingers all entwined in your silky hair, I could feel it, it was the hair going through my fingers, The hairs were like wires going through my body I, I that's how I That's how I I died (At that Tower of Babel they knew what they were after) (They knew what they were after) (Everything on the current) Moved up I tried to stop it, but it was too warm, too unbelievably smooth, Like playing in the sea, in the sea of possibility, the possibility Was a blade, a shiny blade, I hold the key to the sea of possibilities There's no land, but the land Looked at my hands, and there's a red stream That went streaming through the sands like fingers, Like arteries, like fingers He lay, pressing it against his throat (Your eyes) He opened his throat (Your eyes) His vocal chords started shooting like (of a horse) mad pituitary glands The scream he made (and my heart) was so high (my heart) pitched that nobody heard, No one heard that cry, No one heard (Johnny) the butterfly flapping in his throat, Nobody heard, he was on that bed, it was like a sea of jelly, And so he seized the first (His vocal chords shot up) It was a black tube, he felt himself disintegrate (There is nothing happening at all) And go inside the black tube, so when he looked out into the steep Saw this sweet young thing (Fender one) Humping on the parking meter, leaning on the parking meter In the sheets There was a man Dancing around To the simple Rock & roll Song
