Score one for the Beastie Boys. The city of Jacksonville, Fla., has agreed to pay the band $1,000 plus legal expenses to settle a suit over city-ordered warnings printed on tickets for the rap group’s concert there last year. The Jacksonville City Council ordered the warnings printed on tickets for the group’s Aug. 9, 1987, concert after an earlier performance by the band had prompted complaints from parents. But three days before the August performance, the band challenged the city ordinance as unconstitutional, and the city settled on Tuesday.
