Stephen's gracing the podcast airwaves this week to kick off "Rock & Roll Thanksgiving" with Hall of Famer member Patti Smith, who says her new memoir “Bread of Angels” was written to express gratitude to the people she’s loved, some of whom have been lost along the way. In this extended interview, she offers advice to young artists and shares stories from her decades-long career like being photographed by the legendary Robert Mapplethorpe for the cover of her seminal 1975 album, “Horses.” “Bread of Angels” is available everywhere now.
