Final Countdown Classics

In addition to the Final Countdown, which aired at either 11PM or Midnight, I also had an afternoon ‘drive’ shift on KXLU. One day (April 29, 1985 to be exact), photographer Glen E Friedman called and said that he had the Beastie Boys with him and he was wondering if he could bring them by the station for an interview. I thought ‘What the hell’ and told him to swing on by. They had just released their debut 12″ for Def Jam that contained the tracks ‘Rock Hard’ and ‘Beastie Groove’. Lots of interesting moments as the Beasties basically clown around for the duration of their visit. Highlight is a ‘live’ version of Beastie Groove. Those were the days…thanks for listening. ~OG Adam Bomb
