Run-D.M.C. / Beastie Boys Flyer

This flyer was distributed at one of the venues on the Run-D.M.C. / Beastie Boys 1987 UK tour to discourage fans from creating havoc after the show. “Most of the critics think they’re intellectually superior to musicians like us and so they brand us as sexist [homophobes],” Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz of the Beastie Boys said at the time. “They don’t understand that our whole stance is a parody of rock clichés. It would never occur to them that we’re being sarcastic.”
