The song that appeared on the Beastie Boys' 1986 debut album, “Licensed to Ill,” predated by some 26 years the feeling that Bruce Ratner, Mikhail Prokhorov, Jay-Z, Brett Yormark and a bevy of others have this week as they finally see the light that is the Barclays Center at the end of a long and arduous tunnel.
No sleep, but plenty of b.s.
"My toughest challenge [has been finding] an opportunity to sleep," said Yormark, CEO of Nets Basketball and president and CEO of Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment. "I don’t sleep that much to begin with, but now there will be even less time. I say that kiddingly. But, obviously, there [has been] so much to do."
NoLandGrab: And while that headline doesn't violate the terms of the Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch's will, we're guessing he wasn't a fan of Bruce Ratner's crooked land grab.
