A tribute to Adam Yauch – the Beasties MCA – at the Hollywood Bowl on the 4th of May 2012. You may not like Coldplay, you might not L.U.V. Madonna but the extent of the impact of the Beasties is still being gauged. And for not too weird a reason I am still in shock. Here’s a mini collage of tributes I found here and there…
“The Beastie Boys were one of a kind, and so was Adam. They were all an important part of my musical history. And integral to the musical revolution that was happening at the time.” – Madonna
“I think it’s obvious to anyone how big of an influence the Beastie Boys were on me and so many others.” – Eminem
The New York Mets tribute to Yauch. Billboard on Yauch’s battle with cancer. The New York Times obit. A postscript in the New Yorker.
