Oh yes, he is very dreamy <3!! (http://laist.com/2007/08/21/adam_yauch_is_a.php)
so i see that me & this lady share a love for the same silver-haired angel from above! it was almost scary reading this article, 'cause i have the
same exact feelings for him, except more intense. and he's mine! didn't anyone tell her that?! i got dibs on the sexy laidback bass player with
the deep baritone voice, beautiful smile, starry eyes, and long, luscious fingers! ha. :cool: ;)
oh well, can't blame her. we ladies love adam yauch! aaaaah i'm so jealous, i'd die being in the same room with him. that lucky reporter! :D
anyway...the Q&A session, riiiight....lol
Most of the roundtable participants asked music-minded questions, stuff about inspiration or queries about travel. Not LAist. We addressed
hot-button issues like fashion and teddybears, and we did it with moxy, and maybe a little flirting.
Tony asked a pointed question about the nature and intention of shoes but somehow it morphed into a commentary on the fashion dos and
don’ts of the Gala Event shows. We already knew that cargo shorts were a banned substance, but here is a little more insight on the matter…
Ad-Rock: It doesn’t say black tie. It’s not a tuxedo. You know, even with the Gala Event thing, there was a guy in Denver who had a jacket,
he had a boa, he had a funny hat on, really dressed up. And he was wearing a tee shirt. But his tee shirt was representing his friend’s
establishment. And so I let that go. He dressed up with specifics. He had a plan. I don’t know how you feel about that.
MCA: Well, personally I feel like I’m more interested in an early 60s casual than a mid-70s dressed up.
Ad-Rock: Right. I’m just saying. The effort was the thing.
MCA: Yeah I met this one dude who was kinda like Jeff Spicoli backstage at, ah, Red Rocks, and he had on some cockamamie suit with a tee
shirt and sneakers, and he was like ‘Duuuuuuude, I dressed up for yer show!’ And I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t want to bring him down.
did yauch just say cockamamie? hehe :P
Mike D: I would have been like, ‘Duuuuude! You fucked up.’
I followed up with this think-piece, “As far as merchandising empires go,
would you rather have action figures or plush dolls made in your likeness?”
MCA: Like G.I. Joe or a teddybear?
LAist: Correct.
Mike D: I think I’d go for a teddy bear. Cause like, we already have some action figures and I think they’re kinda stiff. good choice, fuzzy bear! :)
Ad-Rock: I as well would like to be a plushie. And I’m not saying I’m into plushies as a fetish thing. I’m just saying. haha!!
Also, from here (http://weblogs.variety.com/thesetlist/2007/08/beasties-on-pau.html)
A dozen journos attended a 45-minute Q&A Monday with the Beastie Boys at the Capitol Tower (which frustratingly worked out to one question to
a customer) and were told not to ask the three Beasties (Adam “Ad Rock” Horovitz, Adam “MCA” Yauch, and Michael “Mike D” Diamond) why
“The Mix Up,” their just released album, is instrumental.
More importantly, we were told don’t ask if they feel they still have to “fight for their right to party” (they’re tired of answering that, the Capitol
press rep said, adding that at the NYC session, someone asked if after playing Brooklyn’s McCarren Pool, the band now felt they could sleep).
None of those questions were put to the often bored looking trio (Mike D spent much of his time text messaging :rolleyes:), but they were asked
to respond to some truly inane questions, including the name of their favorite album (Elvis Costello’s “My Aim Is True,” Ad Rock deadpanned,
demurring when told the questioner meant which is his favorite Beastie Boys album), if they would rather be turned into action figures or
teddy bears (Ad Rock: “I’m not a plushie, if that’s what you’re asking”) and if they liked traveling (the answer to that was, unsurprisingly, yes).
On a more serious note, MCA expanded on the endorsement he gave “The Eleventh Hour,” the Leonardo DiCaprio toplined eco-doc from the stage
Monday night. “It’s an important movie,” he said, adding that it “explains our current situation, including the structure of our government, better
than I ever could.”
They also dispensed fashion advice (there’s no reason you can’t wear Wallabees with a suit), insisted that 40-something musicians can still be
a legit hip hop act (“well, the kids do like the rappin’,” Ad Rock said, with Mike D adding that there’s “no reason innovation can’t come from
someone with decades in the game”). Significantly, they suggested that a layered, sample-heavy album like 1989’s landmark “Paul’s Boutique”
would be a daunting, expensive proposition, and could not be made today.
