This was one of the most enjoyable posts I've ever read on steemit! First I think Rick Rubin is a legend and he always leads back to the Beasties. My Senior trip in high school was in Daytona Beach of course and NOTHING makes me think more of the Beastie Boys than that time. Fight For Your Right was blaring out of every speaker on the strip. Brass Monkey was huge any my personal favorite, she's CRAFTY, she gets around she's craftyyyyyyyyyyyy. Heading for a BB fest on Youtube now.
Thank you @vgc5000! I can't even imagine how wild Daytona Beach was during that time! Isn't it great to have these memories?
OMG so how we got our parents to let 12, 17 year old girls go to Daytona for 14 DAYS?? First we are lucky to be alive, second what the HELL where they thinking? Of course no cell phones no internet to see the wildness going on there so they said OK. BAHAAAHAA Apparently I had a :"smoking robe" I wandered around the pool in.
I didn't make it to Daytona Beach for Spring Break until I was 19 or so but it was so much fun. It was really the first time I was that far away from my parents by myself. Funny thing is by 19 I had gotten most of the partying out of my system. We still had a lot of fun though. I remember driving back to Columbus, non-stop, for 18 hours after being up for over 24 hours already. There's no way I could do that now.
Oh Gawd NO. There's also no way I'd let my 17 year old daughter to go to Daytona today with a bunch of girls. I can barely stay awake past 10pm now lol. Yeah Daytona is done, maybe Boca. LMAO.
