Ben Escobedo & Beastie Boy Adam " MCA " Yauch

On May 4 , 2012 Beastie Boy Adam Yauch
Also Known By His Fans As " MCA " Lost His
Battle With Cancer. I Was Lucky Enough To
Meet Him 3 Different Times Back In The 1990's.
& About 5 Years Ago Adam Yauch & His Production
Company Found Out That I Had Recorded All Of The
Beastie Boys Television Appearances From Their Entire
Career & Requested Copies Of All of My Stuff , They Sent Me
A Ton Of Beastie Boys Merchandise In Exchange For
My Videos. I Later Found Out That Adam Yauch Was
Also Checking Out The Videos That I Sent Them , & That
Made Me Feel Really Good ! Adam Yauch's Office Also Sent
A Bunch Of Blank DVD Covers For Me To Send My DVD Videos
Back To Them In. There Were So Many That I Used Some Of
Them As Baseball Bases Out In Front Of My House When I Would
Play Baseball With My Little Ben. I Would Look Down At These
Baseball Bases When We Were Playing & Think , These Came
From The Beastie Boys ! The Following Video Shows One Of Those
Times I Was Able To Meet Adam " MCA " Yauch.

Brother McDuff ,

The Date June 26 , 1987 Started everything for me. I was 13 years old and my friends dad was taking him to see a band called the Beastie Boys ( & Run DMC ) at Cal Expo Amphitheater here in Sacramento , CA. I did not attend this show, but I was not a fan yet. He told me how cool The Beastie Boys show was , so then I checked out Licensed To Ill ( cassette tape ) and I was hooked. It was around that time that I road my bike down to the local video store and rented the Licensed to Ill home video. The 1st Beastie Boys Television Appearance I ever recorded was " In Person from the Palace " back in 1987. I would watch that clip over and over and over , when I was 13 & 14 years old. To this day it is my favorite tv appearance by them. I then became a superfan. I remember in 1989 riding my bike to Tower Records on July 25 , 1989 to get Paul's Boutique , at this point I was the only one out of all of my friends that cared anything at all about the Beastie Boys. For years ( and way before the internet ) I would call their Management office to get a list of tv appearances for the week - they were so cool to me . John Silva ( manager of the Beastie Boys ) told me over the phone that the Beastie Boys were playing a San Francisco gig at the I-Beam Club on Feb. 13 , 1992. A Huge Thanks to John Silva because that night provided me with a lifetime of memories ( my 1st Beastie Boys Concert ). So , I have been a fan of the Beastie Boys since I was 13 years old - fast foward to 2012 - I am 39 years old , husband, father, career man, and still Love the Beastie Boys as much if not more than I did when I was 13 years old ! oh , and now I have over 40 hours of TV Appearances by them. Because I just never stopped what I started when I was 13 years old with Beastie Boys Compilation ( 2 hour Video ) # 1. , I now have over 22 ( 2 hour ) Compilations - over 40 hours of Beastie Boys T.V. Clips. A Huge Thanks to the Beastie Boys For Entertaining Me My Whole Life !
