Randi is choking up talking about Patti Smith

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

They argued about Nader yesterday

[redqueen]

1. Oh man, that is so sad

:(

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. She's doing her damndest to not cry

She is crying now

[theorist]

3. I was hoping the subject wouldn't turn to Nader.

They should have agreed to avoid that subject. Randi gets emotional over Nader, and that's completely understandable considering her history. It wasn't very good radio to say the least.

4. Are you listening now?

[theorist]

12. Yes, why? Very upsetting. n/t

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. Just wondering

5. What is she saying about Patti?

?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. She's sayin Patti needs some help

She's backing Nader and had an attitude about it on her show yesterday.

9. Needs help because of Nader.. or some other personal thing?

kinda weird.. I just caught the last few seconds of that.


thanks

11. Both - she cited a few other people that she dissed or took off guard

and aluded to something that happened in the studio which she wouldn't say on air

[tridim]

14. My guess as to what "she wouldn't say on air"

and this is just a reasoned guess. I think she injected something in her arm. Why else would Randi ask that she get help?

16. Why is that a reasoned guess?

Have you read or heard something about Patti Smith to suggest she has a heroin or other habit?

[tridim]

17. No

I just can't think of any other reason Randi would keep it to herself. It was serious enough that she wanted to protect her privacy and get her help. I'll be damned if I can think what else could it be?

18. Maybe Randi was just talking crap in the heat of the moment?

8. She is suggesting that the people around Patti need to help her.

Patti has not grown up. Randi also commented that she personally needs to leave the 70's behind (get over the old heros and sheros)and get her head into the 21st century.

[nini]

10. wow... this obviously bugged her quite a bit

thx

13. Patti Smith is the only Naderite I can forgive, for some reason.

I think it's a cheap shot to shot to suggest she "needs help."

(Actually I forgive Jello Biafra, too. And my twin brother, who is now firmly for Kerry.)

7. Did anyone hear the whole exchange yesterday?

I'll admit I tuned it out a lot. Did Patti Smith start the thing with Nader? Because if she went on Randi's show with that agenda, shame on her.
