<p>Sad indeed. Followed the Beastie Boys since their early days as hardcore punks. So young (gasp! same age as me). He’ll be missed.</p>

<p>DH has been sad all day about this. He loves the Beastie Boys … has for years. He was far too young. It’s very sad.</p>

<p>Thanks to CC, I get to learn about obscure musicians who passed away.</p>

<p>^^^:confused:</p>

<p>Not getting this, xiggi. How does a founding member of the Beastie Boys qualify as “obscure”? </p>

<p>Anyway, RIP, MCA! Keep rockin’ the party eight days a week … on another plane.</p>

<p>One of my favorite memories of the Beastie Boys involves my then 3 year old D. I had declared my car a mommy music zone and was blasting the Beastie Boys one day. D was enthusiastically singing along to “Fight for Your Right (to Party)” and at the end of the song gave a very ernest soliloquy about how is wasn’t fair that that they had to fight to have a party, and that if they wanted a party they should be able to have one. Happy parenting moments brought to you by the Beastie Boys :wink: </p>

<p>RIP Adam…</p>

<p>They were hip hop, before white folks knew what hip hop was.
