“Patti liked people to think she was androgynous. She liked them to think she was bisexual. She liked them to think she did drugs. She was one of the straightest people I knew. She’d make sure her boyfriend’s laundry was done before she did a show. All she ever really wanted was a guy who she believed was an angel, then she’d support him with every ounce of energy she had.” - Lynn Goldsmith Patti Smith, New York City 1976.
