We bring you a Democracy Now! special with the singer-songwriter, poet, artist and punk rock legend, Patti Smith, on her life, her art and her singing and speaking out. “I do things that make people upset. My political views or my humanist views have caused me a lot of censorship, but I don’t have a problem with that,” Smith says. “What I would have more of a problem is if I had to look back on my life and say, ‘Yeah, I compromised here’ and ‘yeah, I did this so I could get that.’ Once you start doing that, it’s like a house of cards—it all falls apart.
