Patti Smith Redondo Beach
" The words for Redondo Beach were written in 1971. I was sharing a space near the Chelsea Hotel with Robert and my sister Linda . One afternoon I had a rare argument with my sister and she left. She didn't return and by nightfall I was worried. Needing time to think I took an F train to Coney Island and sat on the beach until the sun rose. I came back, wrote the draft and fell asleep.
When I woke, she had returned . I showed her what I'd written and we never quarreled again. "
