#OnThisDay in 1957, #PattySmyth, American rock vocalist (Scandal - "Warrior"), born in New York City.
#HappyBirthday #68 🎉🎂🎀💗🥳

#PattySmyth didn’t just come back—she ambushed us with an album about aging love, confused kids, and writing sad love songs while in a healthy marriage. We talked about that, “Downtown Train,” and how long-term relationships still occasionally make you want to throw hands.

PATTY SMYTH
Never Enough
1987 Canada pressing

I’m a massive fan of all things Patty Smyth AND Scandal.

Patty is one of my favorite bad-ass female rock singers ever, and I’ve always loved this record, her first solo album after Scandal broke up.

It’s got a killer version of “Downtown Train” on it, along with the fantastic title track, and “Heartache Heard ‘Round The World”.

As a side note, I’m the only person I know who has met BOTH Patty Smyth AND Patti Smith, and they’re both wonderful, lovely human beings. 😂

I just find it wild how the club became the #PunkRock mecca.

With the name #CBGB, it sounded like they wanted to open a #Honytonk.

I would have expected such a place to want #JerryReed or #JohnnyCash, not #JoeyRamone or #PattySmyth.

About thirty years ago I learned how #America was introduced to #PunkRock and #NewWaveMusic by #NewYork club #CBGB.

CBGB was where #TheRamones, #Blondie and maybe #PattySmyth got a lot of exposure.

I always thought it was a little funny that the club's name was an #Acronym for #Country (music), #Bluegrass and #Blues.

Because whenever I think of Blondie or the Ramones, of COURSE I'm thinking of country music, bluegrass, and the blues.

SCANDAL
Warrior
1984 Canada pressing

Like I said… I can’t listen to the E.P. without listening to Warrior. Together, I treat them as one very awesome long album.

Many more awesome songs on this other than The Warrior.
The whole first side just SLAYS, and Talk To Me is great too.

Yes, of a very particular time and place.
But both that time and place were awesome.
