Comparison of PS to documentarian Ken Burns (of all people?)

[Poemsl1]

"(Ken Burns)..... seems almost alarmingly boyish and a bit androgynous.  
Those qualities give him an innocent, nearly otherworldly aspect: the Eagle  Scout 
as shaman, the kid next door as Patti Smith.  
Don't laugh at the Smith comparison. The documentarian and the rock star  
share a similar missionary fervor as well as a narrow build. Burns conveys a  
sense of lightly leashed intensity. It's the intensity that enables him to keep  
undertaking these vast filmmaking campaigns, island-hopping his way through 
the  American past."

The quote re: Patti is on the second page of the article.   It's interesting 
how she is becoming an integral part of  mainstream  American life and a 
cultural touchstone.  xxo-  Seena
