Patti Smith on CBS Sunday Morning

The legendary singer/songwriter Patti Smith, one of my personal heroes, sat down with CBS News host Anthony Mason to discuss her career and her forthcoming album in this hour-long video. She performs two songs: "My Blakean Year" and "Grateful." They also talk about her 2010 book, "Just Kids," a memoir of the formative years she shared in New York with Robert Mapplethorpe. More clips here, including her comments on Jim Morrison.

Boing Boing editor/partner and tech culture journalist Xeni Jardin hosts and produces Boing Boing's in-flight TV channel on Virgin America airlines (#10 on the dial), and writes about living with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. @xeni on Twitter. email: xeni@boingboing.net.

Is it really possible to do more name-dropping that PS does in that short interview? You were good, Patti, but you always took yourself way too seriously!

Patti Smith is the woman Jim Morrison hoped he could be.
