Love Is Money
FOUND by Red Beef
in Riverside, California
We run a Monday Night club in Riverside called Morefire. I pretty much handle the money side of things and this is one of the 20s we received that showed up in my portion. I was talking to another of the promoters and he said that he got a similar $20 in his roll… too bad he didn't keep it; I'm curious what further sentiments it may have expressed. Whoever it is that this message was directed to, I can only say that I hope they decided against cutting, burning, or killing themselves... now that it's been submitted I suppose I can feel comfortable spending it.

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...
After deciding not to cut, burn, or kill themselves, the intended person rolled up the bill and snorted the coke.
Maybe they were happy for a little while, anyway.
What or who is Red Beef? Is that a real name?
These are the lyrics to a song by Kimya Dawson...it's a sweet Find, I think. But...isn't defacing US currency illegal over there? Hmm.
Thanks, Red Beef
I feel sorry for people with depression- it has to be a horrible thing.
It is illegal to deface currency, but I've never heard of anyone getting busted for it.
Heartfelt sentiments
Are so much more meaningful
When written on cash
These are lyrics to Kimya Dawson's beautiful song "Loose Lips"
If I'd thought of it before this person, this find would have been me! I'm a huge Kimya Dawson fan :)
they did forget the "send me an im" line that should have gone before "i'll be your friend" in the bottom right, however. or omitted for space.
This was Uno's allowance for being a good puppy. He was supposed to spend it on chew toys and the like, rather than going clubbing. Somebody's got to talk to that dog. What a party animal!
Woof Woof *pant* *pant* *pant*
someone call the treasury department. we should print uplifting messages on all our moneys. or maybe gloria's haikus.
Kimya..what a sweet find. Lolita, Red Beef must be related to Meatloaf.
RE: Sammy Davis Junior Jr.
Good work in that Ukrainian road trip, I must say.
You carried the film.
So...are you Mikki or Mouse?
Ice9: Thanks. It was the best trip of my life ;)
@ Sammy and Ice9 - Excellent, excellent book.
damn! I feel like cutting, burning AND killing myself. How'm I supposed to call her? No freakin' number!!
Twenty found counting cash
Lyrical hand in the till
Now found in my pocket
Lyrics plant a seed
On my mind it now feeds
Follow instruction
Lyrics on a bill
Found Monday night in riverside
I have had my fill...
That looks like a bad song. If I were to go on a spending spree I'd spend this 20 first just to get it out of my wallet. Not because I'm heartless towards depressed people, but because I hate bad music.
Trust me, its a good song, "just me in my house"! kimya dawson has a very different taste in music.....her songs are just about all acoustic. I was really happy when i saw this :-)
i agree with gloria.
It's kimya dawson lyrics!!
It seems to only be illegal to deface currency "with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued," according to Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Since the bill ended up used, I guess the writer is off the hook and free to write other uplifting messages. I do think that the twenty looks fake (or as if it has been washed with colored socks), like the rest of the new bills.
Loose lips might sink ships but loose kisses take trips to San Francisco, Double-Dutch-Disco, Tech T.V. hottie, do it for Scottie, do it for the living and do it for the dead, do it for the monsters under your bed. Do it for the teenagers and do it for your mom- broken hearts hurt but they make us strong AND! We won't stop until somebody calls the cops and even then we'll start again and just pretend that nothingeverhappened...
That's how the song goes- it seriously is a lovely one. Look it up.
I never have defaced currency, but I talk dirty to it sometimes.
this song was on when i opened this page. to me, i think it means something, but what do i know?
I went to youtube to hear this song. strange. I don't think I will put it on my Ipod anytime soon.
(J)Uno loves Kimya I guess. Kimya's from Tacoma, isn't she?
lindsay, the universe is talking to you.
@Schneh: speaking of books, did you take your name from a Terry Pratchett novel?
This is just part of a song by Kimya Dawson! It's called, Loose Lips. It's also on the Juno Soundtrack.
"So if you want to burn yourself, remember that I love you,
If you want to cut yourself remember that I love you,
If you want to kill yourself remember that I love you,
Call me up before you're dead,
We can make some plans instead,
Send me an I.M., I'll be your friend."
So, I'm thinking this person's not depressed, but saying they'll be your friend if you're depressed.
Kimya? What kind of name is Kimya?
Where can you see lions?
Only in Kimya
Come to Kimya we've got lions
Where can you see tigers?
Only in Kimya
Got lions and tigers only in Kimya
Forget Norway. Kimyaaaa Kimyaaaa
Sorry, couldn't help it.
(I love how many people let us know that it's lyrics from a Kimya Dawson song. As if we couldn't have gleaned it from any one of the first four people to post the info...)
HEY! it's lyrics from a Kimya Dawson song!
Hah, I knew it had to be song lyrics. Something about that handwriting, you can just tell it's not someone who comes up with a lot of original thoughts.
One of my most favorite Finds, Dream Girl, was a Kimya Dawson lyric, too. http://www.foundmagazine.com/comments/2005
("I've got all your albums and I think you are the best!")
Red Beef, don't you know you're supposed to send Found money to Davy Rothbart? You'd better buy some magazines instead!
"Kimya Dawson" is no more a real person than you or I. That made-up name is an anagram for either:
Maids Ya Know
or
Mikados Yawn
Either way (whether it is a made-up name for a group of women taking turns for singing, or whether it stands for a group of bored Asians), I believe it's clear to us all now that ... well ... what was my point here?
@Toaster strudel: if I didn't know better, I'd think you were my favorite anagramarian.
I wonder if cider is slim?
These are the lyrics to "Loose lips" by Kimya Dawson.
Great song.
Great find.
:)
Just thought i'd be one more person to state the facts, hahah.
Hey, aren't those lyrics by Kimya Dawson on that $20 bill?
(sorry, had to be a smart ass)
When I first saw this, I thought it was a commentary on money. Kind of like a sarcastic way of saying that money can't bring you happiness. The person was probably just doodling though.
I have the lyrics from this song tattooed on my "broken hearts hurt but they make you strong"
haha, no one cares, but it thought it was funny!
..on me. not on my!
I didn't think anyone else knew this song.
=]
Kimya Dawson!
Spider Gomez!! (where ya been!?)
Ha, that's a Kimya Dawson song from Juno--looks like a teenager's writing. Probably just got bored in class.
I recognize those sentiments.. I think it's actually a Kimya Dawson song. It might have been on the Juno soundtrack.
Just thought y'all might want to know.
Those are lyrics from a kimya dawson song, Loose Lips.
Is it just me or are the words on this $20 very similar to lyrics of a Kimya Dawson song?
Hey.. those words sound so familiar. I think it's a song I heard somewhere recently. Could it be Kimya Dawson? I think it IS! She rocks!
KIMYA DAWSON!!!!!
Yay (:
Okay then. A show of hands. How many of you here, you "Foundians," have actually read any of the Found Magazines? Like Found #5: The Crime Issue, wherein Davy Rothbart (you've heard of him, right?) shares several pages with Superstar Finder and clever, unique musician...Kimya Dawson...?
Ringing any bells? NO?
Wow.
Shit. If love is money, then I'm a one hundred dollar bill, baby.
P.S. A wonderful true story: my grandmother, who lives in Riverside, CA, just sent me a birthday card and a check. On the "amount" line she wrote "ten dollars only!" because she's pissed that I still owe her a thousand dollars. I was going to pay her back last year but my mom (her vindictive daughter-in-law) told me not to. I was in a highly suggestible state, as I was in the midst of a bogus felony trial (convicted, of course; the police would never in a million years commit crimes themselves, clear themselves of any potential charges, and manufacture charges against someone who has undeservedly incurred their wrath), so I blew the money on weed and Mexican food and steadily nursed a drinking problem which eventually got me evicted. The moral of the story: the police are the problem and pay Grandma back in a timely manner or she'll be ruder than usual. I would have linked to an appropriately redacted scan of the check, but I already signed it over to my brother for beer and weed. At least I'm not in prison.
if love is money, what is lust? what's good old-fashioned horniness? If love is money, why don't it pay mah rent?
I wonder how long before Quentin Tarantino picks up the rights to That jerk again's story for his latest blockbuster movie (starring John Travolta, Sasha Baren Cohen, Joan Rivers and that kid from Two and a Half Men)?
@ Found people: Please, please, please stop asking me to put "Scissors" in the spam box. I can't spell it and have to google a botched up version to get the right spelling...
