Here's a review of "Live

According to an e-mail from "Tracy Pew," the Beastie Boys gave their regards to
Reagan Youth at a recent show by playing a tune. Here an excerpt:
"The next song we're gonna do is by a New York punk
band Reagan Youth and the song is called `Reagan Youth,' and it's dedicated to (deceased
R.Y. singer) Dave Insurgent...'' BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM... what waz so tellin 'n eerie waz
the noticeable crowd silence as the Beasties pounded out the Reagan Youth song; even the
three jarhead slam pits on the floor were confounded by this taste of classic NY punk and
were brought to a stand-still... since only 10-15% of the audience had actually heard a
Reagan Youth song before, the rest of the crowd didn't really know how to take it; what
they may've not known was that Reagan Youth were a protestant dope-smokin', leftwing peace
punk band who later grew their hair long, in direct contrast ('n sometimes conflict) w/the
more popular quasi-rightwing, nationalized skinhead metal-core bandz that so ruled the
mid-80s NY hardcore millieu... much of the time, Reagan Youth's ironic bandname waz
mistakenly taken literally, not az the sarcastic satire of the zombie nation at that time
or any other that it waz... so maybe that waz the case az the Beasties plowed thru the
anthem, last line being an emphatic, ``... don't be FOOLED!''... gave me shiverz 'n the
Beasties were thotful to have memorialized their dead friend Dave Insurgent and his
group's song in concert at the biggest venue in town... carrying on...
