This song is one of my heroes, as is Patti Smith. Pure brilliance...and as someone else quoted, "Nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger NIGGER!" [2].

This song is mocking the word nigger and using it as a positive thing because the definition of nigger is nothing to do with being black. It just means anyone that is seen as different or a freak. Patti is praising the fact that people are weird and yes she is using it as a compliment.

She gets away with it because she calls Jesus Christ, Grandma, and Jackson Pollock niggers also. She is using that word as a metaphor for those who reside outside of society's strict boundaries (along with herself). I'm getting pretty sick and tired of people passing judgment on this song without reading the entire lyrics. Last.fm provides them. Now go read them and figure out how entirely brilliant this woman is.

I loved that Patti sang this song for her R&R Hall of Fame induction gig. She's in her 60's and she showed some of those celebritard pop pups a thing or two about rock music.

I.ve been totally into Patti since 1970! Every song holds up to this day. No band will ever reach the height of originality, honesty and pure powerful BALLS that this girl has reached.

My introduction to Patti came via my cousin's copy of Patti's version of 'My Generation' which I listened to on August 17 1976. The woman is totally mindblowing!
