A high school classmate played with Patti Smith, Benji King. He died from a head injury while taking subway stairs in NYC a few years ago.

BTW, I'm currently reading the 33 1/3/Bloomsbury book on Television's "Marquee Moon" - covers the early US punk scene transitioning from the glam scene (New York Dolls etc), particularly the CBGB's years. Lots of Patti S included.
