Beastie Boys: Not in their Name
smckeating by Scott McKeating March 11th, 2003
For much of their career The Beastie Boys have been known as much for their political leanings as for their music. Their Tibetan Freedom Concerts were pivotal in bringing this issue into the mainstream music press, and therefore into the minds of a new generation.

Now the Beasties join an evergrowing amount of artists in making vocal their opposition to war.

Visiting the Beastie Boys Homepage will give you exclusive access to free download of the new track entitled ‘In A World Gone Mad’.

"This song is not an anti-American or pro-Saddam Hussein statement. This is a statement against an unjustified war." - Adam Horovitz
