Where the Down Boys Go
Date: 2024-05-13 AO: swole Q: ickey_shuffle PAX: flipper, voodoo, The Worm FNGs: None COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Most of the normal stuff sans side straddle hops THE THANG: Five rounds of press ladders Five rounds of 10 snatches per side Four rounds of heavy farmer carries Swing/squat/merkin combos for awhile Clean/squat/press/lawnmower combos MARY: Just 90 seconds worth ANNOUNCEMENTS: The usual suspects, blood drive and brew ruck and whatnot COT: Another glorious week in Paradise City. Last week Flipper requested a hair metal playlist and being the region’s self proclaimed expert on all things Sunset Strip Rock of the 80s and early 90s, I was happy to oblige, mixing in some deeper cuts with the well known stalwarts. It was strange and sad when I realized that the lead singers of two of our first three songs have shuffled off to the great tour bus in the sky (Warrant’s Jani Lane and Firehouse’s CJ Snare). We debated on whether Stuart from Beavis and Butthead wearing a Winger t-shirt killed the band’s career. The group (me anyway) lamented that Thunder didn’t have a bigger run since they were late to the scene and broke right when a great era of rock music was waning and tastes migrated north from Los Angeles to Seattle. One of the band’s music videos featured a young Pamela Anderson in one of her first acting roles though, and for that we are in their debt. To wrap this up I thought of saying to keep on rocking in the free world, but Neil Young sucks and doesn’t even deserve quotation marks. Instead in closing let’s just say “Hail Hail Rock and Roll”.
