The Pope is a fan of Patti Smith. She sang “O, Holy Night” at one of the Vatican Christmas concerts a few years ago, and he had her back again the following year. There are videos of him speaking to her… and of the performance I just referenced… on YouTube.
On her album “Banga!” she has a song about the possible fate of the natural world. Here are a few lines…
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature’s
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
And, for good measure, here’s the performance that charmed the Pope…
