THE Patti Smith?!
Woah.
Patti Smith? Pfft. What ads has she ever done?
I don’t know 3:32 but when Johnny Rotten does an ad for butter, anything’s possible. Patti in a campaign fro Dove soap? Fructis shampoo…
Dissolve her with a bucket of water.
Patti ….. Noooooooooooo!
What are you doing?
I’d pay to hear her sing. Again. But really have no interest in hearing her talk at an ad-fest.
