Twenty-five tunes you've never heard because you were not listening.: #10 Patti Smith -- Dancing Barefoot

I bet ya haven't heard this one! Well, I bet a certain percent of you all haven't heard it. Did ya think that "Because the Night" was the only song Patti Smith ever wrote? Or, did ya think Natalie Merchant wrote "Because the Night?"

A couple of things occur based on this video. First, Patti Smith was much bigger in Europe than she ever was in the U.S. Second, I'm pretty sure that the Dream Syndicate borrowed this bass guitar line for John Coltrane Stereo Blues. Now I gotta post some Dream Syndicate, but that was inevitable.
