the beasties were included in an MTV article about music artists that should be pardoned for various stunts in there career. here's the name of the article and the beasties' segment. not any new info, though mike d gets somewhat dissed at the end.
oh yeah, there's a link beneath it if you're interested in reading the whole article. peace.
"If They Want To Pardon Jim Morrison, Why Not Lil' Kim Or Ozzy? Our Pardon List
Jack White, Beastie Boys, 2 Live Crew are also strong candidates for pardon.
Defendants: The Beastie Boys
The Charges: The most serious legal ramification from the band's unhinged 1987 License to Ill tour was Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz) being arrested in England for allegedly hitting a female audience member in the face with a beer can he'd batted into the crowd. But you kinda get the feeling that the Beasties have spent the last 20 years trying to live down the events of that raucous worldwide trek, which saw them work a giant inflatable (and, according to some reports, motorized) phallus into their stage shows, invite female fans onstage to dance in cages, trash more hotel rooms than Led Zeppelin and — allegedly — lob insults at leukemia patients in the U.K. They've since traded in their hell-raising ways for retro obsessing, unsuccessful business diversification (Grand Royal Records and magazine) and, uh, Buddhism.
We Say: No harm, no foul (well, aside from the beer-can incident, which, if true, sounds unintentional). The B-Boys were just borrowing the whole inflatable-donger thing from the Rolling Stones' 1975 tour anyway, and we're pretty sure the hard partying suited the guys well: Ever since he went all "clean livin'," Mike D has started to look like the Crypt Keeper."
