It’s a great day to be a New Yorker!
Especially when Russell Simmons and Patti Smith are talking shop at the Gordon Parks Awards Foundation Gala Tuesday night!!
“I haven’t written a music note in awhile,” Simmons tells me, when I tell him about my music blog Poison Ivy.
But Simmons is still very much in the music loop with Globalgrind, his fantastic hip-hop site we told you about back in January.
“We’ve grown 400 percent in the last six months,” the Def Jam mogul says.
Patti Smith was much less talkative, tip-toeing her way around the black tie event in a pair of blue jeans and a sports coat.
“Who’s that woman being photographed?” a pair of dressed up glitterati asked me when I snapped this pic.
“Don’t stare too long,” I said. “That’s Patti Smith.”
