COT/BOM:  YHC took us out

FIN.

NMM

Having Qd a Beatles-themed workout in the past at Bells & Whistles, YHC decided to Q one with Mick and the boys/old men as the theme.  While building the playlist, YHC realized there was entirely too much material, so restricted it to just the Stones of the Sixties, built a playlist from their key first era from 1963-1969 and built a workout honoring the fab five lineup of that strong run before YHC was even born in 1968.

@Lemming was extremely disappointed that “Ruby Tuesday” did not make the playlist cut.  #YouCantAlwaysGetWhatYouWant

@Bluto was extremely disappointed that the second “B” exercise called was Burpees, saying that certainly there were other potential choices out there.  #YouCantAlwaysGetWhatYouWant

@BAM stormed off in the middle of the workout.  #[He]CantGetNoSatisfaction

@Manscape is rocking as he nears TripleRespecthood just like KeithRichards.  #TimeIsOn[His]Side

@Airbag (YHC thinks) was our WB this morning. #[He]’sARainbow  Actually it’s @FiveDollarFootlong.  #TheyreBothRainbows

@FiveDollarFootlong is the one to blame if you didn’t like it because he made the invitation.  #LetsSpendThe[Gloom]Together

@TheSingingCowboy, as always, is a man of wealth and taste.  #SympathyForTheDevil

@Interference is able and willing to prescribe whatever we need to help recover from the beatdown.  #[Pax]’sLittleHelper

Here’s the playlist:

  • Time Is On My Side
  • (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
  • Get Off Of My Cloud
  • Paint It, Black
  • Under My Thumb
  • 19th Nervous Breakdown
  • Let’s Spend The Night Together
  • Mother’s Little Helper
  • She’s A Rainbow
  • Sympathy For The Devil
  • Gimme Shelter
  • You Can’t Always Get What You Want

There are a whole lot more Stones tunes, and a whole other Weinke that we can use in a future beatdown.  #StonesOfTheSeventiesAndEighties

Thanks for the honor and privilege of leading this morning.

Your friend,

Starfish
