Some time during the recording of the Beastie Boys first record in 6 years, ”To the 5 boroughs”, Mike D was looking through Rolling Stones’ “Rock’n’roll Circus”. It’s a movie of a show in 1968 where the Stones and their guests – amongs others John Lennon, Taj Mahal and the Who – perform in psychedelic clothes. The psychedelic thought was that the show would remind a circus and the spectacle would be a TV special.
Things didn’t turn out that way. The material gathered dust until 1996 because the Rolling Stones managed thought that the Who cleared the stage of Mick, Keith, Charlie, Bill and Brian in the movie.
But it wasn’t the funny hats, Eric Clapton or Yoko Ono who caught Mike D’s attention. It was Jethro Tull. And especially Ian Anderson – constantly topical and very progressive mixture of a flute playing Punch-doll and court jester.
MIKE D: The film didn’t make that big of impression, but thatflute guy’s jester boots! Geez!
AD ROCK: We had to order our own jester boots. The boots have been very important for our new record. We were wearing them all the time during recording. We were standing on one foot and rapping.
Oh shit!
MIKE D: I thought that Jethro Tull grew in that movie thanks to the jester boots and all the moves.
Oh shit!
ADAM YAUCH: Yeah, especially if you like shite flute music from the medieval times.
Talking of flutes. You got sued by James W Newton for a flute sample in the track “Pass the Mic” on the “Check your head” album.
MIKE D: And twice actually. And we won twice in the court. We had the rights after all before we recorded the song.
Is the trouble reason for that you don’t have any flutes on your latest record?
ADAM YAUCH: Yeah, we got tired of flutes. We moved on to cembalo instead.
