4. Living creatures have mothers and fathers, but musical genres seem instead to be overflowing with godparents. Iggy Pop is the Godfather of Punk (well, one of them), but who is often called its Godmother?
From Quiz The Ladies of Punk
Answer:
Patti Smith
Born in Chicago on December 30, 1946, Patricia Lee "Patti" Smith moved to New York in 1967 and soon became involved with the city's underground artistic culture. She painted, busked, performed in plays, gave public readings of her poetry, and wrote for several rock magazines. She met guitarist, rock critic and record store clerk Lenny Kaye during this time, and on February 10, 1971, she invited him to provide backing music for a poetry reading she gave at St. Mark's Church. Over the next two years, their group evolved into a full band, performing gigs around New York and eventually becoming one the regular acts at the famous CBGB music club. In 1974, they recorded their first single, a cover of the rock standard "Hey Joe". The next year saw the release of Smith's well received debut album, "Horses", which has since been included by both "Rolling Stone" and "Time Magazine" among their respective lists of the greatest albums of all time, and was also preserved in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress in 2009. Smith's later albums include "Easter" (1978), "Wave" (1979), "Dream of Life" (1988) and "Gone Again" (1996).
