POP/ROCK - April 9, 1987

The Beastie Boys will be joining the banned-in-Syracuse list unless they clean up their act. The three brat-rappers are scheduled to play Friday at the Onondaga County War Memorial Auditorium, but the operators there want them to sign a promise that there will be none of their usual lewd or suggestive acts (including the raising of a 20-foot phallus and partially nude, caged go-go dancers) performed on stage. The rock group the Doors had a Syracuse performance canceled in the ‘60s.
