You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
View all responses

I’m an ape of wealth and taste.

Apologies to Mick, Keith and the boys.

Does WP have a thing about biographies? Are they owned by A&E or something? 😄

Honestly, it would probably be something like the above. Or some smart-ass remark about how the book you are now reading isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

If I ever write one, I guess we’ll find out at that point, won’t we?

And now, I will leave you not one, but two, versions of a bonafide rock classic. First, the original by The Rolling Stones:

And the kickass cover by Guns N’ Roses:

Nah, let’s go for three. Here’s Ozzy’s take as well:

But, wait! Let’s not forget Motorhead:

Okay, okay. This time I’m really done. 🤘

        Tomorrow at some point. Probably around 10PM US time, so I can post them all for Weds. Even if you can’t hit that, post it whenever. This is all very informal.

        I’ve been trying to get the post started and saved in drafts sooner, so that I can give people a chance to complete their things, That way, it takes less time when I am actually ready to go live.

        I don’t mind at all, and I am happy it’s growing. I just need to plan out the time to compile everything and get the images ready for the next one. I’m halfway there, because the new images are set. 😄

    Wow!, an ape of wealth and taste indeed!
    Wikipedia is like a vast jungle of biographies, where even the most obscure figures can find their place in the sun.
    As for ownership, let’s just say it’s a bit like a gossip column in a high society magazine – everyone wants a piece of the action.
    And as for the book you’re holding, well, if it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on, perhaps it’s time to consider an e-reader upgrade! 😂
    Honesty is the best policy😂🙃

    I love the gorilla and your take on an autobiography opening. Great song too. I tend to like the originals the best. I’ve rarely heard a remake that’s quite as good but I’ll give all three of these a listen in a moment. Thanks for posting.

      My apologies, there were 4 all together and I still like the original the best then Ozzy. I like the other groups/bands but not for this song. Have a great day!
