So I'm guessing most of you weren't watching the Green Bay Packers dismantle the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football. What you missed, besides the deranged banter of John "Totally Mad" Madden, was a Beastie Boys half time segment that spliced clips from the production of their new video with football highlights. Now I am a huge advocate of indie jocks (minus the frat aspect), but this was just bogus. The Beastie Boys used to have youthful exuberance that characterized a movement and bridged the gap between suburban kids and hip hop. Then they were responsible for using their celebrity for creating awareness regarding certain injustices plaguing the globe. What have they become? A group of old men who are more worried about their children's trust funds then creating powerful music. Are we all doomed to this plight?
Additionally, Modest Mouse's track Float On was used during one of their cut to commercial segments. Bring on the big bucks. As Jay-Z once said, "Thugs hating cuz we getting money like athletes."
