I haven&#8217;t listened to them regularly for a long time, but like a smell that transports you back in time, just hearing a few songs takes me back&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I remember having a long talk with my Dad about the lyrics to songs after a few of my latest CD purchases were discovered. The new Beastie Boys album <em>Paul&#8217;s Boutique<\/em> being one of them. We sat on my bed and read the lyrics out loud for about 30 minutes. I purchased <em>Paul&#8217;s Boutique<\/em> because it lacked the Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics sticker that I was banned from bringing into the house. There was no sticker for metaphor and simile. Ultimately I lost about five CDs that evening, and in frustration I threw my brother under the bus for having purchased Nivrana&#8217;s <em>Nevermind<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I remember shopping at Best Buy with Doug and purchasing <em>Ill Communication<\/em>. We saw two girls from our school, they were purchasing some other album. Doug and I put the CD on in my parent&#8217;s Ford Explorer, which had a subwoofer. We thought this to be pretty cool,\u00c2\u00a0<em>Sure Shot<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0bumping out of the windows as we rolled through the suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>After some of the jazzy interludes from <em>Check Your Head<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0were featured in a Greg Stump&#8217;s movie <em>P-Tex, Lies, and Duct Tape<\/em>, I brought the Beastie Boys back into the public in our household, playing <em>The In Sound From Way Out<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0for the family one evening. I remember the reaction being tepid even though I loved it.<\/p>\n<p>The Beastie Boys were on my list of concerts to see in my lifetime, and feeling like rappers couldn&#8217;t keep on rapping for ever, we started looking for them on tour. Ultimately, in an amusement park in Stockholm, Sweden, Sonja and I saw the Beastie Boys live. There were about 2500 people there. Most seemed interested in the punk beginnings rather than their latest hits, but we jammed away the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colianni.net\/aj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Beastie-Boys.jpg\" alt=\"Beastie Boys\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Beastie Boys are one of the bands that I grew up with, and learning that Adam Yauch had passed away was more surreal than I expected.
