Wonder when you Wander Don't Wander when you Wonder I have an idea that I wonder about and I'll try not to wander We say helllo John and get others to say it Then they'll have to ask themselves why am I saying helllo John Then they'll have to give his music a spin and find out what we already know An astonishing unparalleled contribution to musical history uniquely his own I want this to happen while Cale's still alive I want much of the world to say it (helllo John) and I don't mean just on social media like the 15 minutes of fame Andy Warhol said I want children to say it at school Have you said hello John today Way not I want people to say it at work helllo John, Rick, John, Rick and laugh I want people to say it nearly anywhere helllo John That's not my name Heh heh heh Don't we know it William Burroughs said Tone It Down What could be more humble than turning a helllo into artistry Even if you shout it Laurie Anderson said Speak My Language hello hello I am the You Tube Cube With Teeth and I say let's go viral, viral with teeth and let's get greedy, greedy as dirt on who's having the most fun Long Live John Cale !
I hand painted Cale's face from the album Fear larger than the cover on a bright yellow t-shirt with black fabric paint but, I left out the nose because, I wasn't sure I could get it just right So, my best friend Pete and I go to the Whiskey a go go in Hollywood to see him perform Pete's wearing a pitch black t-shirt with the words What's Wrong With Black Communist Surgeons ? in bright pink fabric paint Stuff from the song Russian Roulette Then, we go to the back door to wait for Cale and his band to arrive There's about five of us, including one chick We were young The Ready For War tour So, Cale arrives with his band and they all see my shirt and AND Mr John Davies Cale wants to sign it but, no-one has a pen So, we go to see the performance (need I say more) and afterwards dude from OUR small group gives me a big black permanent marker, thank you He knew we were a part of history Then I approached Cale's limousine He was waiting for me with the door open Then I handed him the pen and he gladly gladly wrote the word nose on my shirt with an arrow pointing at where it should be I didn't get to look at the shirt until I got home because, the painting was on the back of it At first I was shocked Then I soon realized how priceless it was I WAS expecting an autograph but, whataya gonna do in a small town ? Like Hollywood ? Get an autograph ? Fat chance Long Live John Cale !
