Well, it's all over. Four nights with the B-Boys. They really are b-boys too. The way they were dressed on stage reminded me of Double Trouble from The Wildstyle, only they didn't have the Uzi's.
Anyone who knows me from my high school days knows I was a Beastie Boys fanatic. This was before their first album came out (I know, I'm old). I had bought "Cookie Puss" when it came out and loved both sides. I bought "Rock Hard" (a 12" single pre-"Licensed To Ill" era) and MCA's solo song called "Drum Machine". I even bought "She's On It", although I didn't like it as much as the earlier singles. I went to the Run DMC "Raising Hell" tour at the Oakland Coleseum mainly to see them. I was around 15 at the time and "Paul Revere" had just came out, but it wasn't a hit yet. (This was also before any Beastie Boys album came out.) Nobody at the show knew who they were or knew any of their songs, which didn't surprise me. I WAS surprised when I saw that there was actually a Beastie Boys T-shirt at the merch booth. I used to wear it to school and everyone asked me, "who's that?". I knew I was cool. On the back of the shirt it said, "Get Off My Dick" and true story, I got expelled from school for wearing it. The only time I got expelled.
