Kool Aid Served Daily

I got an Apple iPod nano in December. I added all of my CDs and then started trashing stuff I really had no interest in hearing.

As I listened to some old stuff, i.e., MC 900ft Jesus, I decided I wanted to hear some Beastie Boys. So, for my Bday, my mother-in-law got me License to Ill. As I don't have a box which can run iTunes right now, I don't have it on the nano.

I had a forty minute drive from the Denver Airport to the Sun campus in Broomfield. So I popped the CD into dashboard and let it rip. I almost lost it when I heard some of the lyrics again. Like:

I'm the king of the classroom - coolin' in the back
My teacher had beef so I gave her a smack
She chased me out of class 0 she was strapped with a ruler

I was in college when the album first came out - I probably still have the vinyl somewhere. With a background in Black Sabbath, Ted Nugent, etc, I was very progressive listening to the Beastie Boys.

But now, all I can think of is what would happen if my 9-year old son heard that back-talk-ity anti-establishment lyrics.

All in all, I'm going to put the album on my nano. I'm just going to make sure my son doesn't get a chance to listen to it any time soon. For that matter, I wouldn't let him listen to much else I have on it.
