On the Money

"The 'fourth Beastie Boy' thing is kind of the same thing. I always say that I'm not the fourth Beastie Boy, but more like the sixth fourth Beastie Boy, because they've worked with Rick Rubin and DJ Hurricane and Mario Caldato and the Dust Brothers and whoever else--Billy Joel, maybe. But I'm able to keep it in perspective. I worked with the Wallflowers the first time around, on the album they put out before the one that became a hit; I ended up playing on three or four songs on it. And I saw what Jakob [Dylan] had to go through being the son of Bob Dylan. Being the fourth Beastie Boy isn't much pressure compared to that."
