Poet, visual artist and singer-songwriter Patti Smith shook the music world in the 1970s with her gritty songs -- a mix of poetry and punk -- and she's had a profound influence on generations of musicians and artists ever since. Smith joins us to reflect on her art and discuss her new memoir "Just Kids," about her friendship with the late photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
