From "For Whom the Cowbell Tolls: 25 Years of Paul's Boutique by Dan LeRoy and Peter Relic.

"Then Dike's Delicious Vinyl partner Mike Ross walked up the stairs. Ross was dressed confidently in young executive style: shiny sport coat over open-necked dress shirt, tennis-hero blonde mane blow-dried to perfection. Ross saw the Beastie Boys standing around, looked at MCA, then pointed at the closet (which was a recording both) and said, "Get in there and bust a rhyme!" "Why don't you go fuck yourself?" was Yauch's friendly rejoinder. And with that, Mike Ross' potential involvement in the creation of Paul's Boutique was over before it started. ".
