    Thank you to Madonna for introducing me to the Beastie Boys May 25th 1985 at Maple Leaf Gardens. 14 year old me is forever grateful.

    Licensed to Ill was the first album I bought with my own money from shoveling snow.  I'll always remember that album released sometime near or during winter.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSjdYkqY5WI&amp;t=390">6:30</a> Beastie Boys should sample that whole gold record and make it platinum.

    I saw them in 1985 on Madonna’s Virgin Tour; and I had never heard that degree of booing in my life! At the time, no one had ever heard of Beastie Boys; and here are these three white boys running around the stage cursing! A year or so later they had one of the first &nbsp;#1 multi million selling rap albums in the country; and those same three white boys are now rap LEGENDS and are in the Rock and Roll HALL OF FAME! LOL…I guess it’s true what they say: Timing Is Everything!

    In 1986 they and Public Enemy opened for Run DMC, Whodini and LL Cool J in Columbus, Ga. Loudest show I ever saw, and illest.

    Joe Franklin was the talk show host in Ghostbusters (1984) who asked Ray if he&apos;d seen Elvis.

    The conductor Neville Mariner received a gold record for the sound track album of &quot;Amadeus&quot;. He also got curious, played it, and the disc turned out to be &quot;some Mantovani&quot;.
