I'm still feeling the hurt after more than a week now, which as a 40 year old man has surprised me how much I've been affected, never got
really upset over a celebrity death before. I guess normally us normal folk are quite detached from celebs but after 26 years of emotional investment in the Beastie Boys, they were never just a band to me, they've been far, far more. It really has been like losing a family member or close friend.
On a positive note I wore B-Boys tees to work (supposed to wear smart clothes but I thought fuck it, its my way of showing respect) last week and got several comments about Yauch passing and discovered several other fans who I never knew were fans! Had some good conversations, and got a few people to dig out their B-Boys albums for 1st time in a long time.
Anyways, as lots of people have said already the love and support demonstrated on these boards and in the community is incredible, much respect to y'all!
