Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.; 1.17. 1942) is a retired American boxer, widely regarded among the greatest heavyweights in history. In his early career, Ali’s persona was often polarizing. In retrospect, he is typically celebrated both for his accomplishments in boxing and his social justice values: “religious freedom, racial justice and the triumph of principle over expedience.” In 1999, Ali was honored by Sports Illustrated as Sportsman of the Century.

The Palladium was a concert hall and eventual nightclub. It was located in Manhattan on the south side of East 14th Street, between Irving Place and Third Avenue. The building was demolished in 1999.
The Beasties got kicked out of it, and their nonchalance about that parallels a song by Crass. (The Beastie Boys were known fans of Crass, announcing as much on an early track from their hardcore punk days.)

Palladium (Pd) is also the name of an element – number 46, a member of the transition metals.
