Beastie Boys Square: Ad-Rock and Mike D Celebrate Iconic Renaming
The corner of Ludlow and Rivington in New York City's Lower East Side has been officially renamed Beastie Boys Square, with Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and Michael "Mike D" Diamond in attendance. The intersection was immortalized on the cover of the Beastie Boys' 1989 album "Paul's Boutique." After years of efforts, the New York City Council approved the name change, leading to a ceremony where Ad-Rock and Mike D expressed their gratitude to fans and council members. They also paid tribute to their late bandmate, Adam "MCA" Yauch. The renaming of the square is seen as a lasting legacy for future generations to discover and question the significance of the Beastie Boys.
