LOVE OF INDICATIONS, PARTS 1, 2, AND 3

I wrote this on the drive home tonight.

JOHNNY RAMONE

Have you seen this band The Thompson Twins?
They're not even twins.
All this British shit,
All this British shit.

It's not like when we were kids,
With Spencer Davis and T Rex,
Spencer Davis and T Rex.

This is a '66 Topps Willie Mays,
And it's in mint condition
It's hard to find in mint condition.

It's hard to find in mint condition
Because it's number 1 in the series,
And number 1's tend to get damaged
By rubber bands,
Yeah, rubber bands.

And it's unusual for the number 1 card
To be a star
In the 60s.

Usually number 1's are league leaders.
Yeah, league leaders.

I bought it at a Gloria Rothstein show
In White Plains,
Yeah, White Plains.

And Subterranean Jungle is up to 83
On the Billboard charts.
Yeah, 83.

83, 83, 83, 83,
83, 83, 83, 83...
