A Bohemian Accepts Her Induction With Grace

Patti Smith who straddled the hippie and punk eras, with her album "Horses" setting a standard for literate rock was inducted into the Hall Of Fame last night.

She performed her biggest hit, "Because the Night," co-written with Bruce Springsteen, and the Rolling Stones' classic "Gimme Shelter." Shy and fighting back tears as she accepted induction, Smith recalled friends and family who didn't live to see the day. Shortly before he died, Smith's husband Fred "Sonic" Smith asked her when she did make the hall of fame to "please accept it like a lady and not to say any curse words."
