DREAM GIRL
FOUND by Robbie Wildes
in Purchase, New York
This secret little index card was dropped somewhere between the New and the Olde. Film School is bizarre. This is reassuring.

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...
Is it Bob Seger?!?! Creepy.
Ok! Best Find Ever! I love love love this note!
(This is me in love with Cat Stevens in the 1970's.)
Thank you for sharing this Robbie!
i think it's rivers cuomo with a cookie moustache. i also think think this would make a great album title and cover art.
Right on ceesick, rad idea.
This find is the sweetness.
Thumbs up for the creepy serial-killer man! I think he's the best too.
It's Kimya Dawson's song, "Viva La Persistence".
Mr. Miyagi? Are they those albums you listen to while you sleep?
"Wax on, wax off..."
I love this, especially the thumbs up.
I wrote a note sort of like this once, but it said "i've got all your albums and i'm not giving them back"
Gotta love those knee-highs! And isn't it a self portrait of the fan just waiting for an autogramme - can't you just feel how agog she is with expectation? Are they record albums (are CDs called albums?!?)? Photo albums? Anthology? And finally, the best what?
It's either two thumbs up, or she's twiddling. Either way, I think she's a hottie. I wish I had a few albums out there, so I could pretend she's writing to me. What a babe. I think I'l Photoshop my face into her dreambubble. Mmmmmmm.
Aww! This is me in love with Mick Jagger (Still am!!) and The Rolling Stones, back in the 7o's!!!!
Touche to Nightingale!! Cat Stevens is on my faves list, as well!!
"Where do the Children Play?"
Sorry but you're all wrong. That's me in the little cloud (I've been too lazy to shave the past few days) telepathically sending this thought to Lisa Loeb. Also I'm glad to be getting the thumbs up.
It looks pretty old and yellowed if it's a regular 3X5 index card.. I wonder if The Artist had been carrying this around for the last 30 years, taking it out, looking at it, thinking fondly of the good old days...
And lost it. Bummer. Or maybe The Fan's been carrying it around as a reminder. The Fan is actually quite well drawn for a kid artist's work. Some seriously dilated pupils. And except for the absence of little dots for nipps, the dude looks kinda naked. Creepy.
...I dream of Meatloaf.
So YOU're the rat who stole my photo albums! I don't care if you think I'm "the best," I just want you to quit stalking me. You frighten me, what with those knee socks, and stringy hair, and opposable thumbs. Go away.
Sean: You're wonderful.
Reminds me of my old fan letters to Matt Dillon and C. Thomas Howell.
What is an "album"?
The guy in the bubble reminds me of Z (I think that's who he was) played by Rip Torn from Men in Black.
Sean: Meatloaf rocks! And I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.
spelling on monday morning does not bode well for thee
rock, paper, __________
Aha... the primitive form of Found. I think the writer doesn't know the album owner well and is pouring over the photo albums just like we search this site. I hope that I would look wonderful to the outside observer....
I think this FOUND is the best. Good way to start my week.
I didn't know sasquatch could be musicians.
Just Wondering,
Thanks for making me feel old at 8:43 on a Monday morning. Maybe you'll learn about albums in history class someday.
Jeff Healey died. He was the best.
I've been hopelessly in love with Meatloaf since Gerald Ford was in the White House. Back when you spent $6 - $10 for a 12 inch disk of vinyl called an album. Can you say album? Al-bum. Sure, I knew you could.
I lauged so hard that green tea came out my nose when I saw this. When I was in 7th grade my best friend sister LOVED Paul Williams. She wrote stuff just like this in her diary. (Yes we peeked) He was so not tiger beat material it would confuse me.
http://paulwilliamsconnection.org/
I remember being in the car with her when she got stopped for speeding and her telling the policeman all about Paul and her love for him. He was a singer, but starred in a movie call Phantom of the Paradice in 1974 (a modern take on Phantom of the Opera) about the time of the odd crush of hers. I couln't even tell his radio hits.
Later he would show up on the Love Boat.
Jeff Healey!? Died? (quick google) Oh, my. His was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, ever - definitely in the top 5. Man.
:'(
Hey Pepper, I bet the Found guys know Robbie Wildes the poster of this find too.
You know they do, they probably jam together in Central Park.
Damn, I thought it was James Lipton from Inside the Actors Studio. But he never put out a record. And Meatloaf sucks.
I think the girl in the drawing is giving us two thumbs up.
I think it's Jerry Garcia... Plus, I think she was the girl with no nose I saw selling oranges at the Pittsburgh Dead show in '82.
It's hard to forget a girl with no nose, but it's even harder to forget a guitarist who's missing a finger...
(goes well with my spam question "28 x 15 = ?)
...but he speaks so highly of you, Turbo.
Meatloaf will forever be linked to me learning how to make out.Whenever i hear him, i remember those days... sigh
My second conclusion about this find...the cartoon guy loathes being forever immortalized as a thought in the girl's head. In fact, it looks as though he is contemplating on how to break out of the thought cloud.
I take that back. Meat Loaf (correct spelling) doesn't really suck, I just think he's a bit overrated. Enough with the Bat Out of Hell crap.
His name is Robert Paulson.
Meat Loaf overrated? probably right. He never had a good album after Bat Out of Hell. But that album was very very good.
And you're right, the guy in the thought bubble does look like James Lipton. Too bad he doesnt have an album out. I love that guy.
The artist in the bubble looks like Warren Zevon to me. I miss him so.
Aw man, someone beat me to it!
I love Kimya Dawson's Viva La Persistance!
"I dreamed I thanked Scott Ian for persistence of time
Back when Steve and Eva died that album changed my life
It was a package of pure darkness tied up with a silver string
Delivered by a fast train rearranging how I think
He said "i can't believe you even know that I exist,
I've got all of your albums and I think you are the best"
He started to cry and I started to laugh
I gave him a hug and he gave me his autograph"
Meat Loaf references will forever remind me of Eddie being hacked to death by Frank N. Furter, then served to a bunch of wackos and a couple of dorks for dinner.
I know Turbo will get this, it'll be interesting to see who else does.
Turbo, what's your favorite curse word?
Flargy, i got it.
I know! I know! RHPS
Haha, we old codgers gotta stick together. Let's get out all our fav LPs and party like it's 1999!
Hot Patootie, Flargy!
I love all curse words. I enjoy sprinkling them into conversation, using them when the time is appropriate. There is an art to cursing and I prefer to be called a "vulgarist".
One last conclusion (I promise)...I think that whoever drew this was secretly hoping that this would end up on the cover of their fav. artist's next album...too bad it wasn't. My dad has a pretty extensive album collection and I always used to love looking through the covers.
My dad was also a Meatloaf fan...I think it brings back memories of when him and my mom were dating.
The illustration of the bearded man looks exactly like my father. Unfortunately my father has all the musical talent of a drunken porcupine being attacked by a cracked-out lemur, so I can rule out his living some kind of exciting double life. (He actually came up with that description himself.)
It looks like the girl is a kid so I’m going to vote for Raffi… Or one of the guys from Peter Paul and Mary. Or maybe Bill Harley. Didn’t he have a beard and mustache 20 or so years ago?
Sprung, does lack of musical talent really preclude one from leading an exciting double life? Hmmm? Never underestimate the mysteries of a bearded "old man". ("Drunken Porcupines" could have been the name of his garage band.)
Maybe it was written by a daughter who made off with her dad's album collection.
"I think you're the best!" is an attempt to flatter him into saying "keep them" rather than "give me my music back twerp!"
Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything... *cough cough*
@Sexual Awakening: Mine took place during a Madonna mix tape. Every time I hear “Like a Prayer” I get flashbacks, and “Like a Virgin” makes me snicker.
I'm dreaming that she's dreaming of Sam Beam. Now that's a majestic beard.
I was thinking it looked like Eric Clapton. I wish I could draw stick figures this well.
Turbo - LoveLoveLove FC. Even (or especially) the Meat Loaf parts.
Flargy - I haven't seen all of it, but I got it.
Dang... I lost count at 37 the times I saw RHPS at the midnight showing at the theatre.
Meat Loaf = Marvin Aday
Jim Steinman = Drama King lyric ghod
this is from a moldy peaches song!
I get Flargy and I *have* seen all of it, too often, if that was possible, which it is not... and it is exactly what Meat Loaf reminds me, very fondly albeit messily, of. but the dude in the bubble... Jesus or Ned Flanders.
"Don't eat the meatloaf!"
Flargy, let's do the Time Warp again. It's just a jump to the left...
Tom Paxton
Peter Yarrow
Or, indeed, Uncle Bulgaria!
Put your hands on your hips...
I think it's Sonny Bono. (may he also RIP)
'82 was long before my Dead Show experiences began, but Now I love Puckhog even more.
Flargy, Mona, Nightingale and probably a few others: I got it. Still a fan. Even have it on dvd. Not quite the same when you're in your living room throwing toast at the tv.
Last night I went with some friends and my 24 year old daughter to see Billy Joel. (No laughing please, Flargy.) She was possibly the youngest person there. Luckily I was not the oldest. Funny an album reference came up in today's Find because we had this big discussion about owning albums and having a favorite side. For me it was a usually a case of being too lazy to get up and flip it. So I have plenty of albums that I never really learned the songs on the other side. You don't get that problem with cds.
Awesome! Let's all grab our squirt bottles, newspapers, toast, toilet paper, rice and lighters and head for the hunting lodge for rich weirdos!
Asswhole!
But Turbo, what's Foundese for "slut"?
I don't know if this helps, Flargy, but she'd be more likely to have panty crickets.
and do the pelvic thru uh uh ust
@ John: I always heard it as "don't let your meat loaf".
The man in the bubble is Leonard Nimoy. He had a spoken word album in the '70's.
Flargy - "when eddie said he didn't like his teddy you knew he was a no good kid" - I'm with ya!
Haha wow you're all bringing back memories...
I was in the stage show version of RH, and the guy in the thought bubble actually looks like the actor who played our Frankfurter. (For some reason our director told him not to shave. no one understood why.)
Our show motto was: "Flaunt 'em if you got 'em!"
Is that the guy from Steely Dan?
Ben Folds, perhaps?
Probably not.
I'm not really sure. I thought maybe "bitch-ass dyke" but I didn't like the sound of it. What's your sister's name?
Zing!
My sister's name? It's "Turbo in the Thunderdome."
Robbie Wildes, if you're out there reading the comments on your find, I apologize for inadvertently turning the discussion into a big ol' Rocky Horror audience participation festival. I'll make it up to you by giving you a turn on top of Janet too. Even though you'll be getting sloppy sevenths or something like that, it'll be worth it. Susan Sarandon was kinda hot 32 years ago.
We all know Mom liked me better anyway since you wouldn't stop crappin' the bed.
Flargy, what better tribute to a cool Find than something like a Rocky Horror appreciation festival? If it were my Find, I'd be honored. (32 years? It's been that long? They used to have midnight shows every Fri and Sat at a crappy old theater in Albany when I lived there. What a pageant! I went a few times, but definitely not 37.)
OK then. Was there a popular musician known for wearing square glasses? Those are very distinctive glasses- If the glasses were round, it could be John Lennon... I liked Bat Out of Hell, but I don't get Meatloaf from this Find at all. Where did that come from?
and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Foundese word for slut, "Jo"?
I'm embarrassed to say my Sean is responsible for the whole Meat Loaf tangent. He was dreaming of my meatloaf. It's been his favorite since he was a boy. Come home this weekend, Dear, and I'll make meatloaf for dinner, and you can take the leftovers with you.
Love, Mom
PS-By all means, invite your friends Farmer and Lance to eat with us, but please don't ask Flargy and Turbo. Those characters make such a mess with their toast and frankfurters. And the language! Goodness sakes....
xo, Mom
Could be Jerry Garcia, could be David Crosby. Either way, I love how the girl is sort of crouched over and cutely giving the tumbs up to her musical guru....Neil Young....no, Eric Clapton.
Aww I love this!
I'm especially digging the knee socks.
my goodness.
yes, we still call CDs albums. an album is a collection of 12ish+ songs. nowadays we put them onto CDs... and before CDs there were cassettes and vinyls/records.
turn the radio off (::sings:: i don't want no part!) and go to a music store! man oh man!
phew. now that that's out of my system.
robbie, did you find that at SUNY purchase?
this artist and i clearly had similar influences... at the age of nine...
Holy shit! That picture looks like me!
i'm really surprised more people didn't recognize this for what it is.. a kimya dawson lyric. especially considering her post-juno popularity. i mean, 2 out of seventy-some, c'mon.
god, i love kimya dawson.
I think the guy in the cloud/dream looks like John Lennon. I personally wrote a note similar to this one to David Cassidy in 1970 or 71, at the tender age of 9 or 10. I was in the David Cassidy Fan Club and had a huge poster of him and a little tiny record of him talking "to me", thanking me for being in his Fan Club! sigh... my first crush. And I loved wearing those knee-highs with my mini skirt. :o)
feeling good about myself tonight as i knew it was kimya AND i remember meat loaf and rhps. though i do want the guy in the thought bubble to be neil young, who rocked, and still rocks, my world.
@ sexual healing: is your name brian, by any chance? we used to ride around in the backseat and belt out lyrics between those make out sessions, right?
My name is not brian. i am female.. sheesh. his name was allan.... shoulda married him.
Don't worry Ashley, a lot of us know it's Kimya. We just like daydreaming of our own favorite lady or bearded man.
"Mix yellow and blue paint and get what color?"
It took me three tries because I failed kindergarten...
what is the New and the Olde?
I never heard of Kimya Dawson, and I haven't seen "Juno". But I googled, and I listened to the song. So now I know what Daniel and Amanda and Ashley are talking about. Sorry I wasn't paying attention earlier, and thanks for the heads up, you guys.
Still my favorite Find ever!
Looks like Rivers Cuomo to me, and if it is I will have to agree with the girl.
all I have to say is... if those are thumbs, they are the biggest thumbs I have ever seen.
wtf does "anti folk" mean?
Should I feel guilty, living in Tacoma and never before hearing of Kimya Dawson?
Which came first? this adorable Find, or Kimya's lyrics? If Kimya's lyrics, how do we explain that, from the discoloration of the paper, it appears to have come from Gr'up's childhood?
OK so Kimya herself made this picture? Because that dude in the thought bubble is her hubby, right? Angelo Spencer? Looks exactly like the pic of him. Where's Pepper with the conspiracy theory?
This find confuses and confounds me. Either that, or it's the beer.
Thank God it's Monday!
Even more?... I never knew.
This looks just like my friend, and the guy in the bubble looks like her boyfriend. Creepy.

I'm looking at the 'thought-bubble-guy' (t.b.g.?) and to me it looks like a cross between George Lucas and Kevin Smith.
I didn't know James Lipton made albums.
This is wonderful. Unshaven John Lennon, perhaps? Seasick Steve? - Now that's a beard!
I Love Kimya Dawson. Her changed my life. Have you ever read her blog on myspace? it's pretty amazing. So are her pictures ;)
