Gratitude
 

I just wanted to let everyone on this board know that I have appreciated all of their updates and insights over the years. I figure there is a chance this little community may not stay as intact as it once did, so I wanted to make sure I got this message out. Coming here is a daily routine for me and so many of you make checking out this board a happy piece of my life. I just wanted to say thanks.

I love Adam Yauch.

Well said, and co-signed. I know I act a little sarcastic on here, but I joined at a time when people had an e-persona. I hope those who got to know me, knew it was just messing around.

Removing all of that, this is the single biggest moment in our collective history. If anybody wants an understanding ear (eye?) please feel free to PM.

I thank each and every one of you for your contributions over the years. This Beastie stuff was a beautiful thing, let's all of us appreciate it. It's what he would have wanted.

Re: Gratitude
 

I second this!!
I may not have 1000+ posts but I've been a member for a long time and I visit multiple times DAILY. I don't know anyone personally here, but I feel like I do. So much love and insight and respect. I have friends/family that do not fully understand how powerful the Beasties community is. I had a hard time sleeping last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and got online to read more of the wonderful tributes. I can just imagine MCA and JMJ spitting out some sick beats and rhymes for everyone in the afterlife.
As hard as it is for us fans I cannot imagine what his family and close friends are going through.
Beastie Boys for life!!!!!!

Jason P,

After reading your post I instantly thought of the B-Boys song "Graditude"

Personally, I think a lot of us will continue to stay on here and talk about how those 3 Amazing, Talented men touched our lives with their unforgettable lyrics and creativity! MCA may be gone, but he definitely will not be forgotten!

Re: Gratitude
 

I'd be willing to friend a few of our click here on fb. Feel free to PM me if you wanna do the same. If we don't like it, we can always unfriend. It just seems right that we should know each other outside the board as well...

Haven't been to this board in ages. Had to come by and say hi. My thoughts and prayers go out to Adam's family, including Mike and Adam. This just sucks, but I can't help but think that Adam would want us to celebrate his life and music, and try not to mourn his death.
Peace

Re: Gratitude
 

Adam, you will truly been missed but never forgotten. You were an inspiration to me as a young teenager growing up and a blessing to all you who knew, followed your work, your music and your vision for the world!!! Keepin' the hot sauce hot!!!

Re: Gratitude
 

every single person that posts here, yesterday, was THAT person that their friends and family thought of when the news broke of Adam's passing.

I'm sure we all got the texts, the phone calls, the messages of sadness, support, and solidarity.

to know that he , along with his bandmates, turned so many people into thoughtful creatures that they themselves are surrounded by loving an thoughtful family members is such an awesome feeling.

we were made better to make the people around us better. and now those people know we are hurting.

because of Adam Yauch and the Beastie Boys.

Re: Gratitude
 

I second that JasonP (my cousin). Without you I would never gotten into the Beastie Boys and with out them life wouldn't be as much fun as it is.

I rarely post but read this board everyday! Thanks everyone!

I love you MCA!

Being from Halifax, have you seen Ghettosocks? I LOVE THAT DUDE. Would love to catch him live someday. If you haven't seen him, check him out. Very old school vibe, great lyrics, funny - everything the Beasties are.

Re: Gratitude
 

I would like to extend the same FB invite to anyone interested. Just PM me.

Re: Gratitude
 

Yep, very familiar with Ghettosocks. Lots of great tracks!

Re: Gratitude
 

Nice. Glad to know another Beasties FANADDICT like me is holding it down in Halifax. Peace.

Re: Gratitude
 

I have to say, friending Jason and knowing there is another superfan out there is very comforting. Let's friend it up!

Re: Gratitude
 

PM me. I'm down.
