I had the Beastie Boys book in my hand today waiting in line, but then chickened out. I didn't realize the cover price was $50. I'm rich, but not that rich.

That's a friggin' lot for a book. Amazon hs it for $30, or $15 if you want it on Kindle.

I need to pick it up, too. I wasn't blown away by Telegraph Ave so I waited on Moonglow.
haven't read that one
