Medication Time

We’re big fans of the Beastie Boys and we were saddened when Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch announced he had cancer. The good news is that he’s recovering somewhere very comfortable from surgery to remove the offending tumour in his throat. And without medication too, the nutter. But isn’t taking advantage of the world’s strongest pharmaceuticals one the major perks of being able to afford the best medical care in America? Anyhow, we thought we’d give MCA a few slices of stitch-splitting entertainment to enjoy while he’s lying on his back getting bored shitless.

We start with a little taster from a top seventies New York City heist film starring a brilliant Walter Matthau and some top fake moustaches.

1. From 1974′s ‘The Taking of Pelham 123′, composed by David Shire.

2. Fletch pays a visit to Dr Dolan.

3. Spike Milligan on The Muppets.

4. Popcicles.

Another trip to NYC now with our old friends The Warriors trying to escape being slapped by the Baseball Furies. Here they are having a good workout to a fabulous Barry De Vorzon soundtrack.

I figured they were pussies. Now let’s have a rest and spark one of these up…

5. The Camberwell Carrot.

And finally we see Kid and Play making the party jump in this battle taken from the legendary 1990 movie, ‘House Party’.

6. House Party

That’s all, folks! And get well soon, MCA.
