Contradiction.[edit]

The article says "In addition, the Beastie Boys Video Anthology featured a mock interview of the "cast" of Sabotage conducted by Jonze's then-wife Sofia Coppola."

However, Jonze's page says they were married from 1999-2003. 216.114.232.234 (talk) 02:07, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Release Date for Sabotage[edit]

Release Date for Sabotage of January 28 doesn't seem right.

Billboard magazine issue May 7, 1994, page 12 says

'Grand Royal/Capitol unleashes the Beastie Boys' "Ill Communication" May 31. A prime spot on the Lollapalooza tour is expected to propel sales of this follow-up to the platinum 1992 release, "Check Your Head." College and modern rock radio will receive the single "Sabotage" on May 9. The track "Get It Together" was released April 12 on a white-label 12-inch single to clubs and college mix shows.'

Not a word about "Sabotage" supposedly being released 4 months earlier.

The song didn't make Billboard's Modern Rock chart until June 13 issue. PatConolly (talk) 04:10, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MTV added it to their playlist the week ending May 15 (as reported in Billboard May 28 issue). I do not believe that coming off a platinum album the first single from the new album would be ignored for over 3 months, and then start getting played on radio and MTV in May. I think it was released May 9, and was the second single from the album, not the first. PatConolly (talk) 06:39, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
