RUN/DMC and The Beastie Boys
Fact or Fiction?
by Ken Covington
In anticipation of Portland's first major Hip Hop or Rapp concert, a sub
stantial number of parents and citizens have expressed deep concern about
this particular event.
Ring, ring, ring —my phone does every few minutes, almost driving me
to the point of no return. SOMEBODY CALL DAMMASCH!
It's Monday morning, just seven days from show day, and Portland s
ultra-conservative attitude is starting to show. "That's just not the kind of
concert we want our kids to attend." Why the heck not! They've been
listening to the records for the last few months, and you didn t say too
much then. And what about this, "They've had riots at their shows!" Bull,
Bull, Bull. They did a 65-city tour last year (one of them at the Tacoma
Dome on New Year's Eve) and only had trouble at one in Southern Califor
nia, and have since stepped up their security to ensure that there will be no
j; « i
repeats.
On to the next great myth: RUN/DMC uses explicit and lewd language.
Wrong again. RUN/DMC is the Creme d'la Creme, The Kings of Rapp,
;
breaking every record and rule pertaining to music of its kind, mostly due
to the sensitivity to everyday issues and positive messages that are the
essential roots of RUN/DMC.
RUN/DMC was the only act of its kind to be included in the Live Aid ben-
nefit and has won numerous awards, from Black Music awards to Gram
mies, and I don't think it was for their explicit and lewd language.
On the other hand The Beastie Boys have been dubbed "The Rude Boys
of Rapp and Roll". Hublien Inc. has reported twice the sales of Brass Mon
key since the release of the Beastie's record of the same name.
The Beastie Boys are not really new to rapp, having released previous
albums, but with the release of the triple platnum "Licensed To III", the
bad-boy image has them at the top of the charts and on the tip of every
body's tongue. Kids have always identified with rebelious lyrics, all the
way back to the days of Cab Calloway.
All in all, it's about time for Oregonians to wake up to the fact that it is
1987, and in order to grow, you need to open your mind and check out the

facts and not listen to fiction.
I think that parents are getting excited mostly because of the way the kids
are reacting to the coming event. And I think we should also remember
that school's out. It's the start of summer, and the kids just want to let off
í
some steam.
