Because Patti Smith Won the National Book Award
And because we were listening to her biggest hit just yesterday. Congratulations to Patti Smith, who wrote the best nonfiction book of the year!

Finally! Someone with a real life and real life experiences not only writes a memoir, but is awarded accolades for it. The good guys win!!!
