We found a small stack of clean, neartly folded, fine wool undershirts on 5th Ave just north of Washington Square Park. Patti's! we exclaimed & took the whole pile. Her album Easter had just come out & these were identical to what she wore on the cover. We were in our 20s & free stuff ~ Patti Smith's, no less! ~ was irresistible. I wore mine for a long time, years probably. I don't remember tossing it but the confidence that wearing her clothes gave lasted even longer.
