Marianne Faithfull and Patti Smith both turn 59 today.
In a recent interview in the New York Post, Patti Smith talks about the 30th anniversary of "Horses."
"I look at ‘Horses’ as being able to express things important to me when I lived at the Chelsea Hotel with my friend Robert Mapplethorpe," says Smith, referring the late photographer whose stark black-and-white photo graces the cover.

In an interview in The New Yorker, Marianne Faithfull talks about the Chelsea's drug scene.
She found a stool and went on, "I never stayed at the Chelsea because of all the drugs, when I was trying to get off drugs. It was much too Sid and Nancy. I never saw the film. I lived the film. But it's brighter there now, less heavy, lighter."
