Back in the sixties I put on a show in swinging London that almost became the talk of the town.
however a few minor celebrities turned up, especially from the music world.
Yoko Ono came along a few times and took notes
one of my pieces in the show was a ladder standing in the corner of an empty white space, painted on the ceiling above the ladder and unreadable without climbing that ladder, were two words; 'FUCK OFF'.
Gary, a pop star of sorts climbed that ladder and read those two words then having climbed back down left the gallery in silence.
Years later I met Gary again, in more troubled times for both of us.
He said. 'Jan if only it had said YES on that ceiling I would never have left the Glitter Band and gone off to interfere with children in Thailand.
