Patti Smith opened her sold-out concert on Friday night at Irving Plaza with a 1974 poem about a 16-year-old escaping a dead-end job to come to New York City and "be somebody." She ended the two-hour show with "Farewell Reel," from her first album in eight years, a song about a 49-year-old woman recovering from the death of her husband and preparing to re-enter the world.

Patti Smith is considered one of the most influential female rockers. Growing up in New Jersey, Smith used poetry as an escape from the pressures of growing up. She used this talent to write and made it into a career and released her first album in 1975. It would be blasphemy to rock and roll if you passed up tickets to see Patti Smith so don't be blasphemous and buy tickets to see her live.
