5K EVERY DAY – Day #360

(Opening clip — “And on the cool check-in. Centerstage on the mic.” from “The New Style”)

On this date back in 1986, the Beastie Boys kicked off the Licensed to Ill tour with a show at The Ritz in New York City.

(More of “The New Style” — “And we puttin’ it on wax. It’s the new style.”)

At the time, they were loud, chaotic, and barely controllable.

By the time the tour ended?
Licensed to Ill became the first #1 rap album in America.

(Clip — “Brass Monkey”)

And somewhere along the way…
thousands of Volkswagen emblems disappeared —
fans stealing them to mimic Mike D’s signature look.

That’s momentum.
And that’s how streaks work —
one night,
one show,
one run at a time.

Today was Day 360.
I ran.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
