Want to be famous? Have a story about a song from the glory days of Rock? Share it with us.

Hello and greetings from your friendly MFU administration team!

We’d like to inform you of our newest feature, one of many little features that we have around here. If you look up, and to the right, you’ll see something called “Easy Share.”

This link takes you to a form that you can fill out, so that we can share your stories with a larger audience and preserve them for posterity! You’re gonna be so famous. People will be jealous of your fame. You’ll see!

If you’re familiar with the site, you’ll know that we have a preference for the earliest years, the years of rock’s puberty, more than the other years. See the “about” page for more details. However, we’re not just worried about preserving our own favorite parts of rock history, we just concentrate on our favorite parts. You’re quite welcome to submit articles about newer music.

The form is pretty basic and easy to comprehend. Just use whatever name you want (and preferably an email address that actually works) and we’ll take care of the rest. We’ll edit it, format it, and maybe add to it. We’ll even fact check it, where applicable. We ain’t scared.

We are, alas, beholden to a web hosting company, so we’re going to have to keep things at the point where we’re not intentionally being offensive. Because of this, we are not obligated to publish all submissions. We will decline to publish anything that can’t be edited into material that suits the site and meets the hosting company’s rules – but I’d like to hope that is never actually a problem.

So, it’s your chance to preserve a piece of music history and be famous! If you’d like to promote your own site (assuming it’s not intentionally offensive) then we’ll go ahead and leave/include your links back to your site.

Again, we reserve the right to not publish all submissions and, as such, we maintain complete editorial control. In other words, because music is so intertwined in our lives, marking various events and having greater meanings, please try to keep any politics or social statements as objective as possible – if they must be made at all. Let’s concentrate on the positive, as opposed to accentuating the negative.

We welcome all contributions and, trust me, we’ve read some things – so we’ll read all your submission! You can fill ’em with porn links and racial slurs. They won’t get published, but we will read ’em!

So, why not click this link and share a story with not just us but posterity. Let’s keep the history alive! And, now there’s no more excuses about, “I don’t want to register!” There’s no more excuses like, “I don’t have time!”

That’s right… You don’t need to register! You can just make up any ol’ name you want and fill that little form in. No more excuses! 😉
