On the way home from Ryan’s 18th birthday-we-missed-lunch-lets-have-coffee-and-give-you-cards-and-hugs meeting, I was listening to my new Nano (Ipod pay it forward post coming on Tuesday) and Beastie Boys came on.
\nDan wasn’t singing along with me, Kara, Alyx and Shea.<\/p>\n
“Dad didn’t get on the Beastie Boys bandwagon in the 80’s.” I announce.

How could this be?<\/p>\n
“Whaa?”
\n“They suck. They’re rap.” He proclaims.<\/p>\n
Now this is where I have to ask the question: Is Beastie Boys ‘Rap’.\u00a0 I see it has all the characteristics of rap music…yet it can not be categorized as such.<\/strong><\/p>\n I switched it over to classic rock and debated what song by the Beastie Boys I would be playing at his funeral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the way home from Ryan’s 18th birthday-we-missed-lunch-lets-have-coffee-and-give-you-cards-and-hugs meeting, I was listening to my new Nano (Ipod pay it forward post coming on Tuesday) and Beastie Boys came on.
