Lightning Bolt has become my absolute favorite song off of LB. The song, the feel, the lyrics…they all get to me.

ANYWAY, I'm doing an art piece on this song. My first acrylic painting. I feel the name of the painting needs to be "She's your RKO"


BUT


I don't know what RKO means…exactly... :?


Me and my brother just thought it was 'Real Knockout"

Help me out folks!

    RKO/Hearst helped both make and break Orson Welles... Maybe functioning inside of something much bigger than you are or will ever be... Being controled by what you think you're in control of?....

    Thought so as well. Then I looked in the vinyl lyrics (it doesn't have them in the cd) and it does in fact say "she's an rko" and once that was confirmed its pretty easy to hear rko, especially at the shows.

    Now what does rko mean? All I can think of is...
