PATTI SMITH DOES HORSES. Flea and Tom Verlaine will join Patti Smith and her Group to perform Smith's Horses at BAM on November 30 and December 1. It's the 30th anniversary of the album, recently remastered and reissued in a two-CD set. So why is this a big deal? The writer Will Hermes takes a crack at the subject in the current Village Voice. What do you think?

Some proceeds from the event will go to Hurricane Katrina relief. Remember the Gumbo!
