Our punk poet

Patti Smith Group   “Gloria” b/w “My Generation”   Arista Record (1976)   (“My Generation” was recorded live in Cleveland on 1/26/76.)   Cool candid shot of Patti and Lenny Kaye backstage.

This “warning” appears on the back “NOTICE:   “My Generation” contains language that might be considered objectionable”   What the fuck does that mean!?
