During my years at EMI I was invited to Beastie Boys’ Hello Nasty release party. Of all the capitals in Europe the guys had chosen Lisbon as party venue for all EMI’s music executives.
Why Lisbon? – I asked Adam Yauch. In 1998 Lisbon was far from happening on the tourist scene… …
Because of all the Golf… he said.
Very little street and very little rock ‘n’ roll I thought. But back then I ‘didn’t know they were golfing pilgrims like Flea, Alice Cooper, Eddie Van Halen and a lot of other of my heroes.
“Because of the Golf” MCA said when I asked him why they chose Lisbon for their release party for Hello Nasty
