Luckily the cancer he has is treatable and he should make a full recovery.
If you were a jewish boy growing up in NY in the 90s, you probably wanted to be The Beastie Boys at some point. Yeshiva drop-outs, telling their Rabbis and teachers to go fuck themselves, and rapping as well as any non-white group out there.
If you hold up License To Ill in the mirror, the letters 3MTA3 say EAT ME. What most people don’t know is that MTA is the name of the school they got booted from.
The BB also have a history with my alma mater, Stuyvesant High School.
(from Wikipedia) The entrance to the high school is visible in the beginning of the music video for the Beastie Boys song Ch-Check It Out, as the three rappers walk on the TriBeCa Bridge. Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys also wears a red Stuyvesant High School Physical Education leader T-shirt in the video for (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!). This has sparked a rumor that one or all of the Boys attended Stuyvesant. In fact, only the band’s original drummer, Kate Schellenbach, did. Horovitz’s much younger stepbrother Oliver also attended Stuyvesant.
