The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 13, 1987 - Page 11 Records A Brooklyn boy becomes a star Beastie Boys Licensed To Ill Def Jam Riflin' one day through the Daily files I found a record that would bring me smiles Beastie Boys LP, their first full album A jolting shock to radio pablum. It's a crossover threat of great proportions By twisting old tunes into new contortions. I wuz weaned in the AOR wasteland Led Zeppelin riffs turn my floor to quicksand There's plenty of Zep all over this wax rFrom 'When the Levee Breaks"'drums to "The Ocean"'s axe. War's "Low Rider" and Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf' Both get an injection of the Beastie beef. Steve Miller and salsa and Schooly D. Even old Mr. Ed's a casualty. Bobby Fuller and Creedence also get the mix Just some of Rick Rubin's studio tricks (He's the mover behind rap's new crunch By adding metal guitar for a rockin' punch) Everyone knows robbery's a crime But to rip off is one thing, to steal right, divine.' Lyrics o.k., no great sensation It's the tough guitar that's the innovation Here's a rap record that shows real smarts Not just a bunch of kids doing beatbox farts. Sure they're obnoxious, downright cocky, But this vinyl sizzles like teriyaki Up on the grill or your turntable The Beasties' sound defies a label Is it rap with rock, or rock with rap, Or some new location on the musical map? Kickin' out a beat that pounds and pounds With a dose of humor to the def new sounds. All their favorite topics are included here White Castle burgers, girls, guns, and beer. Slipping their lip in between the licks Defining the sound of '86 So grab this sucker and crank it loud It's one sure way to draw a crowd Overall this is one fine long player (And now Def Jam has just signed Slayer Won't the PMRC be in for a shock When rap meets Satanic nuclear meltdown rock?) Mike Rubin (Continued from Page 9) have good time. I respect those people and I don't underestimate those people. It doesn't mean those people are all idiots; (they are) doctors, lawyers, higher educated people but sometimes you just want a candy bar. Sometimes you just want to go to the candy store. and get a Snicker's Bar. You can't always have pheasant under glass; it's just not the way it is. I really feel for critics who try to review Police Academy and talk about it just like James Beard, the great gourmet, was going to crit- ique an Oh Henry Bar. It's not meant for that; it's just meant to eat and go away and that's it. And the people who like the candy bars say, "Yeh, it was good. What the fuck are you saying. What the fuck are you talking about." "Well, I thought the chocolate was from a... "(mockingly) "Who the fuck cares? I ate it and it was gone." The problem with film today is that everyone takes it so god-damn seriously. If they would read about some of the masters. like Trouffeu or Hitchcock, even Wier, people would just say, "Hey, it's just a fuckin' movie." I mean, some- times, you just got to laugh. I respect people who just want to laugh. D : Where do you picture yourself in ten years? G: I don't know, you know? Things are so fucked up. I don't know. I don't know. What do I want to become? I'd like to have the career of Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant. I would like to fave a career as a leading man doing films that work. If I'm not Clint G: You got to do really good movies. You got to do movies that make a lot of money but you also have to do movies that get some critical acclaim. D : I hear that you do community service... G: I do work for Amnesty International and I also work for St. Mary's hospital for children. D: What kind of work do you do there? G: I promote the hospital and do a lot of campaigns for them and I also work with kids. D: Do you do it for yourself or for good publicity? G: Well, it is a two way street because I'm not doing it anon- imously. I do it a) for the kids 'cause I really think that you got to to give back, b) I do it for the publicity of the hospital because the hospital gets a lot of publiciy out of it and 3) I think it looks good for me and I feel good about people knowing that I'm doing something good. Guttenberg Eastwood, That's O.K.. D: What kind of movie do you picture yourself in? G: I picture myself in an action- adventure movie. I'm young and if I just stay healthy and I stay in good attitude by the time I am 34 or 35, I'll be one of the top eight guys that you will have to go to for a movie. D: Are you worried about the competition? G: There's always competition. I'll be happy if I'm in the top ten. D: What do you think have to do to get in this top ten? Let Them Know How You Feel!!

Get a job or start a business. Mike Judge of Tally Hall's Steak Escape did both. Nearly five years ago, Mike took a job in Ohio with the first Steak Escape store. Today, he owns two franchises-with professionally trained staff at Tally Hall and at Portside in Toledo.- Whoever thought that a limited menu of cooked-to-order sandwiches and hand-cut french fries would be so successful? I I was cruising with my blue-eyed boy on the S.S. NACUFS when the Pacific looked more like a monsoon than a calm horizon by the light of the moon. Yes, it's true, Ramona, the Corner Market Coffee Lady, saved a region of the globe by enlisting the aid of' a company of modern rain dancers. Not since the times of stone tablets has the world experienced an earth parchment as great as in the coffee fields of the Western Hemisphere. i Yal u may be asking yourself--" Did I ever hear about a drought damaging fields and beans?" Of course you (didn't! Ramona came to the rescue! I said--" What?, There's no coffee? Then let them drink capuccino!" And they did. Like I always say, If you haven't been to the Corner Market lately, Honey, you haven't been to market! .
