Adam Yauch passed away yesterday after a three year battle with cancer. Adam was of course one of the Beastie Boys, a band I grew up with, the punk rock boys gone rap that created a sound all their own and went on to create so much more (videos, films, magazines and political movements). I didn’t know Adam personally but I love all the work he and the boys put out into the universe, aside from the obsession worthy work he continued to create he was also a native New Yorker and Bard graduate (class of ’86) which immediately makes him like family. Needless to say, the news broke my heart. He was only 47. Thank you for all you created. Adam in 1989, above is on the right. RIP MCA.
