moabbound Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 For me anyway, Adam Yauch, MCA of The Beastie Boys has died at the age of 47. The Beasties had a HUGE impact on me and helped formed who I am today.

Mama T Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 sad news indeed. maybe we can all post vids to some of our fave beastie boys songs. this one always puts me in a good mood: ...we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment.

Garth Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Was so sad to hear about this. The Beasties were always one of those acts that I was desperate to see live, and never got the chance. Adam Yauch, by all reports, was nothing but a class act and great at what he did. He will be sorely missed. Really nice article from the Guardian newspaper about him: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/08/adam-yauch-not-just-celebrity Follow me on Twitter: @garth_green Link to comment

drsloomis Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 In addition to being a MAJOR influence in hip hop and music in general, Yauch was also active in the film community, co-founding the indie distribution / production company Oscilloscope Laboratories, which has a pretty impressive list of titles to its credit. As a Beasties fan and a film buff, it makes the loss doubly hard. drsloomis: level 5 human assassin STR: 15 | DEX: 17 | CON: 12 | STA: 12 | WIS: 14 | CHA: 8 Current Challenge Link to comment
