Urgent:patti Smith Rushed to the hospital in a critical condition

Patti Smith is grateful that Taylor Swift included a reference to her on her recently released album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The renowned author, poet, and singer wrote on Instagram over the weekend that the name drop “touched” her.

Smith posted a black and white picture of herself clutching the book “Dylan Thomas: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog,” with the text, “This is / saying I was / moved to be / mentioned in / the company of the great / Welsh poet / Dylan Thomas.”

The future titan of Apple Music and proven hitmaker Jimmy Iovine was an ambitious engineer at the time who produced Smith’s third album, Easter, his first record as producer. He oversaw the star-crossed collaboration, which combined Smith’s words with Springsteen’s music and chorus. As she waited for a long-distance call from Fred Sonic Smith, the guitarist for Detroit the rabble-rousing MC5, the man who would become her husband and the father of her children, she wrote frantically while listening to the recording repeatedly. Her words, which are set to Springsteen’s escalating piano arpeggios and culminate in a mysterious chorus, instantly transport us to Smith’s room as she waits and paces: “Love is a ring, the telephone.” By the time he rang at midnight, she had finished, which was the first indication that this song and this love were unique.
