I scanned a headline online last week that Patti Smith forgot the lyrics to Bob Dylan's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall during her live tribute at the Nobel Prize Award Ceremonies in Stockholm. Like a lot of things you read online, this particular headline missed the larger story of why Smith was there in the first place, how she came to choose and sing that particular song, and how her "flub" became artistry that moved me and others to tears.
Read her story, How Does It Feel, and then watch her sing.
