Notes on John Yau's reflections on Yves Klein

At the Walker last night...John Yau (poet/art critic) shared his words on the artist Yves Klein. I, in turn, wrote down my words.

Cherry Bomb lyrics

(Jett-Fowley)
Can't stay at home, can't stay in school
Old folks say ya poor little fool
Down the street, I'm the girl next door
I'm the fox you've been waiting for
Hello daddy
Hello mom
I'm your ch ch ch
Ch cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm
Your wild girl
Ch Ch Ch
Ch cherry bomb
Stone age love, and strange sounds too
Come on baby, let me get into you
Bad nights causin' teenage blues
Get out now, 'cause you've got nothin' to lose
Hello daddy
Hello mom
I'm your ch ch ch
Ch cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm
Your wild girl
Ch Ch Ch
Ch cherry bomb
Hey street boy, ya want some style
Your dead end dreams don't make you smile
I'll give you somethin' to live for
Have ya, grab ya till you're sore
Hello daddy
Hello mom
I'm your ch ch ch
Ch cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm
Your wild girl
Ch Ch Ch
Ch cherry bomb
