Sing to me!

Rogue challenge for my birthday

It only comes once a year (much to everyone’s relief), but today is my anniversary of screaming into the world. Still screaming 54 years later.

Here’s the challenge: hit me with some sincere comments about me that don’t focus on my myriad flaws (I’m frequently served the lion’s share of a king’s ransom of my flaws, would love a break from that on my day). Any community, any length. I’ll even waive my no-rhyming rule.

No deadline. Here’s my very first favorite song to inspire you. I was four years old when I heard it for the first time. It changed my world in the best way—it brought me my first bassline.

Cheers!
