Show some damn respect. Don't think I won't send her upstate to kick your ass for saying something ignant like that.
For saying that she's great or for accurately counting where she was billed during her last Roo appearance?
A 16-year old festival lineup is not exactly the best gauge of anyone's current drawing power, but if you seriously think Patti Smith lacks the lasting impact of Jojo and His Mojo Mardi Gras Band, then all that Buffalo snow must have frozen your last braincells. Or maybe you've fallen into a 2004 timewarp, still dropping Napoleon Dynamite quotes and blasting American Idiot on your Zune. Your avatar is wearing a long-sleeved shirt under a short-sleeved shirt...
And I'm not salty. Well, maybe a little. But that's not the point. Patti is a goddamn ICON and if you refuse to acknowledge her as such, then what are you even doing with your life?

LOL.
I had never even heard of her until coming to these boards.

Ok, back to work.
That's ridiculous, you love Patti Smith. You have an autographed copy of Horses hanging in your front hallway!

Yeah I'm not really sure why he cited 2004 billing as if it is reference for current reality. Patti is co-headlining Homecoming with The National this year, and I'm pretty sure no one would put The National at spot #18 on a lineup, so...
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Are you doing a bit?
I acknowledged that she's great.
Her profile is no higher now than it was sixteen years ago. Billing is rarely qualitative, it's usually based on popularity and commercial viability. She was determined to be less of a draw than Jojo and His Mojo Mardi Gras Band in 2004.
If you want more recent festivals:
11th at Riotfest 2019 (7 spots behind Raconteurs) 4th on her day at something called Beach Goth 2016 (behind Bon Iver and James Blake)
I only did US festivals in the last five years but it's hard to make an argument that you're not a crazy person here.

I wanted to see where she was billed at this festival that we're using as a model the last time that she played it.
Being billed behind The National is not exactly an argument for billing her as a headliner at your fantasy festival. Nobody's saying that you have to change anything. I was just saying that your billing looked wonky to me. You do you.

FWIW, my stance is somewhere between yours and Sleepy's - I think she's great, I wanna bill her higher than something like 18th even if that's what she was back in 2004, and yet...also I don't think any of what you've pointed out is Crazy Talk, as he seems to believe lol. I know putting her in the top 3 was totally a stretch. But now I am just determined to find a way to sneak some diversity into my top 3 , even at this point in the game...
