R.I.P. Adam Yaunch (a.k.a. MCA) Of Beastie Boys




Shit, man. 47 years old. That's younger than both of my parents. Fucking cancer.

Not that I was a huge Beastie Boys fan - their records left me lukewarm (apart from Paul's Boutique, which I liked a lot, I'd usually just go for 3 to 5 songs per record), and their 1998 concert at the Molson Centre was disappointing to say the least. But still.. I thought Adam Yaunch was going to beat this thing, because he can't, he won't, he don't stop.

His band's videos will live on forever, as does his participation in the mid-to-late-90s Free Tibet movement.
