I knew he had a severe sort of cancer and was even thinking of looking him up the other day by chance.
Salivary gland cancer at age 47. Three years after being diagnosed. Wow.
I'll be playing a few of their vids tonight in his honor.
Damn, this should be the obit thread. Just heard MCA (Adam) from the Beastie Boys just died.
That is a great loss. True innovators of rock and rap (plus funny as hell videos) along with Run DMC. Old school white guys that, as a band, wiped many off the map.
"No Sleep till Brooklyn," "Intergalactic," "Brass Monkey," and the classic "Fight for your Right to PAAAARTY!" (Intergalactic was the most innovative vid, IMO.)
Their breakthrough hit deserves an imbed for the youngsters. RIP MCA
