Death Workout

I ran yesterday spin class and I thought that I would run a contest with the prize being a CD of the workout. And what I found was a workout that had a singer or a band mate that had died. That was the theme running thorough the workout. And at the end of the workout I was suppose to talk about how exercises and living healthy would give you a chance of living longer.

I started the workout and about 3 songs in, Dede yells out "There all have a band member that died." I did not say anything and went on with the class. And all the time I am trying to think was else all of these singers and groups have in common. I was really distracted the whole ride with coming up with something.

So the workout is over and everyone is saying the same thing "They all have a mate that died." So in the spur of the moment I said " No, it's that they all wear size 10 shoes." that was the best I could come up with in an hour. And then I went on and on about how everyone should have known about their shoes sizes. But it did not work and I had to give the prize up.

So from now on any question about music , Dede(Go here for the story on Dede ) will not be able to participate because she knows to much about all kinds of music. And she can bring it up at the drop of a hat, unlike your pal who takes usually 3 or 4 days for the answer to pop into my head. Well any who it was a good class anyway.

Groups or singers that I used.
Beach Boys, AC/DC, INXS,The Doors, Elvis, Queen, Ramones, Nirvana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Selena George Harrison, Lynyrd Skynyrd,Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Who, The Bee Gees, Luthur Vandross.

Hey Willie,
I agree it was not fair to have a contest like that on a day that Dede is in class. I was struggling in my mind for other common links and she had come up with the answer before I could blink. She holds a truly amazing wealth of music information in her head. How does she do it? Only conclusion I can come up with is that she's young enough to have missed the drug years??? Naaaah that can't be it, it's Dede we are talking about.
See ya in the AM

PS. Thanks for your message the other day I am going to kick your butt tomorrow.
