Fact #156392

When:

Short story:

Beastie Boy Adam 'Ad-Rock' Horowitz is acquitted in Liverpool, England, UK, Europe, of causing actual bodily harm to a fan during a riot following their recent concert in that city.

Full article:

Marc Jones (Liverpool journalist) : I was called to appear at the hearing but, in the end, I didn't have to go. Ad-Rock was eventually acquitted. The tabloids had played a large part in stirring things up, but the band were also partly to blame. They were nice middle-class boys, playing at being hard, and they got more than they bargained for in Liverpool.

Mike D (Beastie Boys) : We vowed that we'd never ever go back to England after that tour - we hated the place - but when we finally relented and came over with the Check Your Head album, nobody gave a fuck. It was poetic justice really.
