As YHC was driving down the road a few weeks ago, YHC switched from his #1 preset Sirius XM station, yep, you guessed it; #23-Grateful Dead 24/7 to his #2 station; #38 Ozzy’s Boneyard, and was introduced to a new song. This song is called Balls to the Wall by the not so Rock and Roll Hall of Fame stature band; Accept and YHC knew immediately that this will be incorporated into a future beatdown playlist.
Fast forward to today… YHC pulled into an empty Bombsquad AO at 5:16 am and strolled over to drop off the now world famous DJ equipment where the PAX will soon be putting their balls to the wall. Upon return to COP, YHC found Quaker and Sunshine chit chatting about spreading sickness and Motley Crew… I guess that kinda goes hand in hand. Buffet was next to pull in and after a few minutes making sure his hair was just right he made his graceful entrance. As it got down to the one minute warning 6 more PAX joined in and at 5:30 am it was time for the beatdown to commence.
