Although I am at a stage where I feel grateful and thankful for the life of Adam Yauch, and for all the good things he did and the great music he created, there is something about his death which doesn't sit right with me.
I know that it is natural to question "Why?" when someone dies so unfairly young. People try to look for reasons and sometimes, there aren't any clear ones. Now, Yauch did smoke quite a bit in his younger days. I read an old interview where he said he gave it up in 1992 or 1993. But, cancer occurs in millions of people, all over the world, so...it happens.
But why is it that so many musicians and comedians (people with far-reaching influence), the ones who question societal norms, very often end up dying so young? Bob Marley, John Lennon, Bill Hicks, and Patrice O'Neal come to mind. I'm just saying, because as much as we all loved Yauch and were devastated when we heard of his passing, make no mistake about it, there are some people in this world who, if anything, felt relief when they heard it. Yauch's death is good news for the Establishment, who love war. They've got one less entertainer with an anti-military industrial complex platform to worry about.
I think about the Tibetan Freedom Concerts. And I think about his speech at the VMA's, (not the Hornblower one; the one where he condemned anti-Arab, anti-Muslim foreign policy). And I think about the politics of "To The 5 Boroughs." I never truly realized what a brave man Adam Yauch was. He really put himself out there. And you can bet that there were people who considered him a nuisance. Why was Yauch the one to get cancer, rather than Horovitz or Diamond? They smoked, too. But they weren't as political as Yauch was.
Look, it could just be the "conspiracy theorist" in me, and I'm not trying to start anything, I just wanted to get this off my chest because it truly bothers me. And when you hear about the CIA's various shenanigans, it does make you wonder. It's really not that far-fetched. Were you aware that 5 South American leaders have cancer? Yes, it's Chavez pointing it out, but I wouldn't just dismiss it as nonsense:

Governments, worldwide, have long, storied histories of getting rid of dissidents. Whatever the case, we'll probably never know for sure if anyone sabotaged Yauch. But we've all got to answer to God, karma, the universe...whatever, someday. RIP MCA. You were a TRUE patriot.
BTW, did the authorities ever find out who killed Jam Master Jay? Tupac? Biggie? No. No, they didn't.
Asking questions is never a bad thing. Again, I hope I didn't offend anyone, I just needed to get this off my chest. Cheers.
