In this chapter, the speakers discuss the influence of the book 'You're the Monkey' and the connection it has with the works of Burrows. They talk about moving between reality, not reality, dream, not dream, and the idea of having guides. They mention how they turned to Burrows to decipher certain things in their lives and how they believe that all the answers are within his works. They also touch on scarlet fever and how it opened a portal for them to access different experiences and knowledge.
Patti Smith has been at the vanguard of art, poetry, rock and roll, and other forms of self-expression since the 1960s. But this talk with Marc happens to be her very first one-on-one conversation done over Zoom. They talk about Patti's days living at the Hotel Chelsea, carrying on the legacy of the Beat Generation, and forming life-changing relationships with William Borroughs, Sam Shepard, Allen Ginsberg, and Bob Dylan, among others. Patti also recalls the most mortifying live performance moment of her career, which happened for all the world to see.
