Patti Smith was held in high regard in the early punk scene. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she still idolized her rock star heroes and wasn't shy about it. This was a refreshing contrast to the other punks at the time who called the rock stars of the past 'dinosaurs.' Her first single on a major label featured a live cover of The Who's My Generation.
No longer hoping she dies before she gets old, the line was changed to 'I don't need this f**king s**t.' When she performed the song on Saturday Night Live, it was changed to 'I don't need this censorship.'
Notice: "My Generation" contains language the might be considered objectionable.
