from pattismith.net...
greetings
it's been a long time since i have written.
i am in paris and it is friday january 27.
i am lucky to attend the premier
of don giovanni on
mozart's 250th birthday.
a truly revolutionary fellow,
he wrote the overture
the night before it debuted.
he had to drink a few flasks
of wine but he did it.
a genius at making the establishment
shudder as he approached deadlines,
he played piano the opening night laughingly, shouting the proper notes
to his fellow musicians.
what a guy. please celebrate. you must have some mozart laying around.
i have the requiem. let's all play him together.
i send all good wishes. i am well and wearing fine black socks i bought
in rome near the vatican.
life is good and better with mozart,
patti smith
