Good thing I added “self-proclaimed” to the IQ, or else I’d have to give you credit for an acceptable alternate answer 😛 No, you are not the late punk rocker G.G. Allin, whose best-known song is “Outlaw Scumfuc”. (Or at least it’s his best known song title. Allin was way more famous for his attitude and stage antics than for his actual music, which even his fans admit isn’t very good. G.G. Allin’s discography is the “Metal Machine Music” of punk - everyone’s heard \*of \*it, but few have actually heard it, yet everyone “knows” it’s bad.) DQ: Born after 1800? ---
