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!?

   If I’m remembering correctly, it means that Patti ad libs “we don’t need that fuckin’ shit” during the song. The Clark University student radio station had a program called “My Generation (PSV)” and used it as their theme song.
