I was a big fan of them in the 1980s. I even still have my Licensed to Ill cassette tape all worn out in a box of memorabilia. They lost me in the early 2000s though as they released a record just overloaded with liberal rah rah crap. I like music so much better when it seeks to entertain you rather than rant at you about politics especially if its coming from a leftist direction. That said, RIP to one of the Beasties.

Damn, bummer....
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

Who the hell are the Beastie Boys?  :yawn: 

A group of nice Jewish boys from NYC that decided they wanted to be black rappers.

I personally couldn't stand their "music" but I hate that one of them got taken down at such a young age from cancer.
