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

Beastie Boys: Not in their Name

Whoo, the Beastie Boys make a simplistic and poorly-thought-out reactionary statement about a currently fashionable cause. How very earth-shaking. I'm just surprised it's taken them this long...

Fuck off, you twat. Fairly reactionary, I know but who cares? Oh yeah, you do.

MCA has been a flavor-of-the-month activist since he "quit smokin' cheeba" and he's been a fucking bore ever since. EASILY the weakest link in the chain.
