Really?

It looks like Horovitz gave Rick a peace sign/what's up gesture at the Madison Square Garden bootleg show, during Double R foots the bill in Brass Monkey.

Alan Light The Skills to Pay The Bills (Three Rivers Press)

Alan Light's oral history of the Beastie Boys that Spin ran back in '98 gets expanded version 6 and half years later with more trash talk and anecdotals. Their Former DJ (and Yo! MTV Raps VJ) Doctor Dre's controversial and contested comment that they used the n-word in front of an all black audience in their earl days has been excised, but Molly Ringwald and Q-Tip still represent in their cameos. The narrative that really runs through this book is Beastie's tumultuous relationship with their first producer Rick Rubin, and by the end - according to ex Def American executive Don Charnas - only DJ Double R and his former best friend Ad-Rock are still beefing. Can we get an Ian MacKaye moderated peace summit or what?

ED - from The Fader Bookjonkers
