#introduceyourself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste.

I've been around for a long, long years, stole million man's soul and faith.

_{Gustave Doré, Illustration for John Milton’s "Paradise Lost"}

And I was around when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain.

Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate.

I stuck around St. Petersburg, when I saw it was a time for a change.

_{Ivan Vladimiriv, Bloody Sunday. Shooting workers near the Winter Palace.}

Killed Tsar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain.

_{The basement of the Ipatiev house where the Romanov family was killed}

I rode a tank, held a general's rank, when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.

I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the gods they made.

I shouted out:

Who killed the Kennedys?!

... when after all it was you and me

_{Picture of President Kennedy in the limousine in Dallas, Texas, on Main Street, minutes before the assassination.}

And I laid traps for troubadours who get killed before they reached Bombay.

So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste.

Use all your well-learned politnesse or I'll lay your soul to waste.

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.

Ok ya ... ☝ this here is most interesting / creative use of the introduce tag i've seen so far. But alas, a pop quiz (sans google if you dare) .. Ready?

Legend has it that this song was inspired by a book that Mick Jagger read .. Can you name it? _______________________ 👀

Hello Lucy ;-) welcome to Steem! :-)
@thevil(60)· 2907d
As you can guess I'm going to write mostly about #music, #art and human nature, but you can also expect random stuff worth spreading.

I write this in a comment because I don't want to put in my first post anything more.

If you read first lines without music filling your brain you need to start over again and do it again, now with that youtube link playing in the background.

Thank you guys from steem.chat's #general, especially @artlover, @commernce, @apsu, and @gandalf. For welcoming me, for answering my stupid questions, for helping me with formatting.

You guys ROCK!
