We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Indeed
Will someone please frame this?
Is that written on a Kleenex?
@Geek, looks more like one of those sorry-excuse-for-a-napkins you get in cheap diners. The kind you need 10 of to even wipe your lips.
@ baby basil: Aha. If the note was about Country music, or even Blues, a cheap diner napkin would add credibility. I guess someone was at Denny's early in the morning and wrote their manifesto on whatever they could find.
I heart rock. (I heart most kinds of music)
As the Rolling Stones sang "It's only Rock and Roll and I like it." No explanation necessary.
I know it's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it. Yes, I do.
whatsamatta with the clothes im wearin'
Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
Welcome back to the age of jive.
Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money.
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me
The cropped out the skid mark on the toilet paper when it was scanned.
Rock and roll hoochie koo
Lordy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll hoochie koo
Truck on out and spread the news
Yeah somebody say keep on rockin'?
@Hiplainsdrifter--Your handle gave me a good giggle this morning.
Now, we must rock!
Other things to know -
How to interact with your fellow man.
Proper personal hygiene.
Make your bed and wash your clothes.
How to manage money.
How to shop
How to cook.
How to take your meds.
How to find Jeff after 7th period...
The road to enlightenment is long and arduous - that is why I have asked you to pack a lunch and bring a change of clothes...
I never learned how to play guitar by listening to rock and roll.
i love the juxtaposition of strutting your shit and playing the guitar. very punny.
i'm glad that i've outgrown letting rock n roll tell me how to act.

ROCK 'N ROLL ain't noize pollution, you know....
silly things?
Gimme that old time rock n' roll,
That kind of music just soothes my soul.
I reminisce about the days of old
To that old time rock n' roll.
They needed a rock and roll verse
so on toilet paper they wrote terse
they used blue colored pencil
to wax existential
but the terse verse just made them feel worse.
Here's what else you need to know:
Country talks to you about the mundane things, tells you how to love your mama and your country, strut in your shitkickers and play acoustic guitar while singing into a wireless mic.
Blues talks to you about the sad things, even though it's usually things a normal person can easily overcome with some booze and some hookers, tells you how to feel sorry for yourself, stew in your own shit and play guitar just like every other blues player.
Rap talks to you about the dumbest shit you never thought would be that important to ANYONE, tells you what kind of car you need, what kind of rims to put on it, what you need to be drinking and how to treat your bitches, strut your shit (because yo shit don't stank) and play absolutely nothing.
Lastly, fuck jazz.
Rock rock rock rock
Rock and roll high school.
Gotta like the ramones!
Best rock-n-roll breakdown, evar:
"Rock-n-Roll means well
But it can't help tellin' young boys lies"
The Drive-By Truckers
I salute you!
I Love Rock-N-Roll
put another dime in the jukebox, baby...
I.. wanna rock and roll all night.. and part of every day! (when I was a kid, that's what I thought the song said. you know, like they could only party PART of every day, because some portion of the day had to be set aside for sleeeping?)
The word "strut" makes me think of
a. Stray Cat Strut
b. Sheena Easton
C. Mick Jagger and his scrawny chicken dance.
Too bad hip-hop has taught 1.5 generations of boys to keep their pants pulled down. Does Rock and Roll have a remedy for this?
@Gorgon--Rock and roll IS the remedy for that. No self-respecting rocker would be caught dead with his pants halfway down his ass, unless he WAS dead, with his pants halfway down his ass. (Either that, or they're on their way down because a groupie has pulled them down.)
What else do you need to know?
How about, does a bear shit in the woods?
(Well, I'm NOT telling.)
Or, If a tree falls and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Or maybe, what IS the sound of one hand clapping?
I was thinking about this yesterday.
Was pulling out of the little store down the road and in front of me was this guy playing really really loud rap music. I was cringing.
Back in my day in the early '70s I had my car amped up but I played really good rock music really loud. I'm sure my elders at the time enjoyed it much more than I did with the rap ;-)
"it's not that I'm old.
Your music really DOES suck."
That is probably the best "Finder's Blurb" ever. Thanks, Andy!
Hey, someone recently mentioned a Best of Found Magazine book (or mag?) that was released in Europe and available on Amazon. I can't Find it. Anyone?
@ GORGON- A **remedy** you ask?? **BLACK CROWES** has a **REMEDY**...not for the "pants around the ankles" but nonetheless...a remedy!
Glad to be of assistance...lol!
hey... jason mraz has a remedy, too..
if you gots the fevah, i gots the remedy..
I really like the phrase "strut your shit" and I'm going to try and insert it into everyday conversation.
Excess ain't rebellion
You're drinkin what they're sellin
Your chaos won't convert them
You never really hurt them
They're so happy to rebuild it
You never really killed it
