Family & Friends:
"This was their theme song. The Monkees had their theme song and the Young
and the Useless had this." - Nick Cooper,
2003
"I remember very little about the Real Men Don’t Floss recording session, except for when we all went en masse downstairs to get cheeseburger deluxes and chocolate shakes. The diner was on Park Avenue South. I think it is still there and called Aristotle's. Don't know for sure." - Adam Trese, June 2003
Press & Print Media:
"The Beastie Boys and The Young and the Useless
played gigs around Manhattan's punk cellars during the first eighteen months
of the 1980s. Venues such as A7, CBGB's and Max's Kansas City provided them
with their first footings in live performance." - excerpted from Rhyming
& Stealing: A History of the Beastie Boys by Angus Batey
"The Young and the Useless had opened gigs for the Beasties on several
occasions, and not only did Adam's [Horovitz] guitar style seem suitably rudimentary,
his band had even covered some Beastie Boys songs, so he didn't require much
tutelage." - excerpted from Rhyming & Stealing: A History of the
Beastie Boys by Angus Batey
"When the 'Polly Wog Stew' EP finally came out on the Ratcage label in
early 1982, the Beasties performed a few half-hearted 'reunion' gigs, until
guitarist John Berry grew tired of the whole
enterprise and left. Adam Horovitz's band, The Young and the Useless, were now
calling themselves "the Beastie Boys copy band," so he was a natural
replacement." - Record Collector, December 1998
