Died Friday May 4th, 2012
Easily the most devastating music death for me in a long, long time. There has been an outpouring of people making comments about Adam Youch's passing. One of the best I read was...
Everybody loved the Beastie Boys. Truly a remarkable feat!
I think that summed it up for me. They were the perfect blend of hip-hop, rock and funk. No one did it better and they were never pretentious and took themselves too seriously.
Its hard not to appreciate the Beastie Boys and all their accomplishments and their great music. I remember hearing when Adam was announced as having cancer and thinking "oh no". It just seemed even then, you knew it was going to come to this. I felt like that day, it seemed like he was going to die from this. And the appreciation for the Beasties just reached new heights for me. I began to savor every moment I heard the Beasties from then on. Unfortunately, this sad day has finally come.
RIP Adam Yauch
Truly one of the saddest music deaths for me in a long, long time.
