Run D.M.C. don't look too happy.
I'm currently listening to a audiobook history of Def Jam records and how the business started. According to that book, the Beastie Boys at that age were incredibly obnoxious in real life. Nice enough and sometimes fun, but obnoxious. Maybe RunDMC (and Jay) were ready to get that shoot over and get out of there.

Thanks for the info. That makes sense.
 
That reminds me of the time, during a business trip, I visited an ex-co-worker in Manhattan 25 years ago. In his small cramped Manhattan apartment near the WTC, he had books in his kitchen cabinets, on the counters, and even in his oven. He was a writer/editor (then at the NY Times) and had probably a few more books than most people, but not ALOT. He joked that all Manhattanites who could afford it did not cook and stored things other than pots, plates, and food in their kitchens. At least his fridge had food in it.

Hollywood & Vine, 1944. That's Ginny O'Connor, at the time a member of Mel Torme's vocal group, The Mel-Tones. She would go on to marry Henry Mancini, a marriage that would last 43 years until his death.
