What did Gary Bushell say? Because in the Rhymin' And Stealin' book on the boys by Angus Batey, it states that Bushell wrote articles that stirred up tensions before and during the UK tour in '87. He was making stuff up about being threatened by hip-hop fans outside gigs and stuff, generally giving the impression that hip-hop and the Beastie Boys were dangerous.

He was saying that people didnt really get the joke, that they didnt realise they were making fun of the frat boys. He was quite positive really.

Thanks. Well then, he's changed his tune. I'm pretty positive he didn't get the joke back then either.

It was Iainn Lee, the desperately unfunny comedian who called the Beasties geniusaes, he ain't all bad then.
