For my money, the greatest opening line to a rock song doesn't come from any of my usual suspects. Rather, it can be found on a classic from about 15 years ago, Motorhead's scorching 1916 album.

Track #2 is called "I'm So Bad (Baby I Don't Care)." Just how bad is Lemmy, and to what extent does he not care? He'll tell you just as the song hits full throttle:

"I make love to mountain lions."

Yeah.

Nothing that was written before or since can top that. Rawk is dead. Long live rawk.

    What's amazing is how easily I can conjure up a visual in my mind to fit this lyric.


    I still think someone should cover "1916."

    I wish I had the resources and the wherewithal to make your vision a reality.

    Your call as to which part of your response I speak of.
