Annual Rock & Roll Hall Nominee debate

I didn't call anyone a name. Nor do I intend to.
The term wiggers was used by many to describe the beastie boys during their height. I apologized for using the term earlier. This will be the last time that I will apologize for it.
As I said, their music NEVER crossed over. While they made money using Elvis' formula, their music didn't appeal to Latinos and African Americans.

 

Saved for post of the year balloting.

Apologizing for a word's usage doesn't make things right. Racist.

 

The fact is that the beatie boys appealed to white America. Latinos and others of color weren't big fans. You could count the number of Latinos and others of color at their shows.
So when I hear someone tell me how "big" they were, I look at the crowd they attracted. In my opinion, they did the same thing that Elvis did in the 50's and made a lot of money doing it.

 

Serious question, how many Beastie Boys shows did you attend? Since you seem to be very confident in the demographic breakdown of them.

 

I used the term, so I guess in your eyes, I'm a racist. And that's hard for me to be one but if you say I'm one, I'm one. Now, that you've gotten the name-calling out of your system, I hope that you're feeling better.
I think I explained why I used the term and apologized before using it and after using it. For you to keep bringing it up is rather childish.

 

Two, one in NYC one in San Francisco.
Serious question to you. How many did you attend seeing as though you want to question me about the demographic breakdown?

 

Racists come in all colors, shapes and sizes. You have no right to use that term; apologizing doesn't excuse it.
For you to use it in the first place is childish -- among other things.

 

Look pa, I've got a big one on the line here ...

Catch of the day material.

 

Why, since you don't appear to like or respect them as musicians, did you attend two shows?

And before you ask, I've been to three. All in Chicago. And I wasn't paying attention to the races attending the shows, I was just there for the music. Apparently someone's color is something you look for right away, for whatever reason.

 

You asked me how many of their concerts I have attended. I gave you the number. Two. In BOTH CASES I DID NOT purchase a ticket.
So you have nothing, as usual.
But seeing as though you didn't answer my question, I think it's safe to assume that you have NEVER BEEN to a beastie boys concert.

 

And that gives you the right to call me names and to keep bringing up a term that I explained and apologize before and after? Now that is childish.
