RIP, Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys

[GinaSuperCat]

This has hit me pretty hard...finally able to start clicking on BBB videos and for obvious reasons this video from Roo '09 really made me smile...You'll remember this, Dive:

I read that Roo was his last live appearance. Anyone know if that's right?

[GinaSuperCat]

I didn't realize that, but that's how it's being described just about everywhere at this point.

One more highlight from that show: Sabotage, an absolute beautiful shambles (mainly because Ad Rock keeps fucking up)...you can tell the audience really gave two shits about "perfection!"

Lost it when they ripped into Egg Raid on Mojo. Amazing night, feeling super fortunate I got to share it with friends...

I was lucky enough to see him speak (see my FB profile) in the fall. It was touch and go whether he would make it. And when he walked out to intro the film, I cried like a little girl.

So, to say it has sucked is an understatement.

For those that don't know, he died during the Buddha's birthday. As a devout Buddhist, I see this as a good omen for him for his next venture.

Saw the Beastie Boys twice in my life and they we're on top of the best shows i have ever seen. Was a kid buying their first album back in 1986 and never stopped listening to them.

Rest in Peace Adam !
