The Ace of Hearts coordinate

Patti Smith's birthday maps to the Ace of Hearts (The Emotional Pioneer). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote and not a verdict on Patti Smith. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You start real connection on purpose: you say what you feel and leave room for the other person to answer.

Patti Smith in the public record

Her 1975 debut album, Horses, made her an influential member of the New York City–based punk rock movement earned her nicknames "Queen of Punk, and "Godmother of Punk". Smith has fused rock and poetry in her work. In 1978, her most widely known song, "Because the Night", co-written with Bruce Springsteen, reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number five on the UK Singles Chart. In 2005, Smith was named a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. In 2007, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In November 2010, Smith won the National Book Award for her memoir Just Kids, written to fulfill a promise she made to Robert Mapplethorpe, her longtime partner and friend. She is ranked 47th on Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of all Time, published in 2010, and was awarded the Polar Music Prize in 2011.
