Adam Yauch - 1964-2012

[Shadbells]

One of the best moments of my life was when I met Adam Yauch. This was after I was one of the camera operators for "Awesome....". I went to the Oscilloscope Laboritories loft and did a brief interview about the experience of being a camera operator for the Beastie Boys.

After the interview I waited in the kitchen area of the loft and right behind me Adam came out from his office and asked me how it went. I was in such amazement to see one of the people I've always looked up since a kid that all I could say at that moment was that I was seeing spots from the overhead light in the interview room. This is typical me, so I was able to be myself in a nervous way. I then thanked him for the opportunity and told hime I appreciated it. He replied with a "you're welcome" and was so kind. I wanted to explain my love of the Beastie Boys since a kid, take a picture with him, and tell him how much this group has meant to me but all I could do was say "thank you" and let the silence take over.

I am so heartbroken by all of this. I really hope that his wife, daughter, parents, family, friends, and fans can all find peace in the one thing that we all share; which is the love we have for this incredible person.

I don't know if the "R.I.P. MCA" Run DMC logo was created on here, but either way, I'm now seeing it on Twitter.

You know, i think they're ok, but i'm fucked if i'd ever line the pockets of some prick making money off the back of this. Now, if the money was going to the milarupa fund, or something else in the name of Adam....i'd consider it. Still a bit tacky though, eh?

i kind of don't like the smell of any of these "buy x and a certain amount will go to charity"

instead of buying something like that, why not just give $ to charity?

I dont know why cause its making me feel worse but iv been going Beastie crazy lately looking at old videos I have and videos on youtube etc. I came across a photo from flickr of them at the Fight For Your Right Revisited Premiere an it looks like they are answering questions from the crowd. Is there any video fo this anymore that anyone knows of ?

Enjoyed reading this about MCA by somebody at Fuse TV. Made me smile thinking about how those three might have been interacting while he was sick. And it made me sad too. :/

I know. And the worst thing about it is that you can paint a picture in your mind and literally just see it all ending...

that was rough. and beautiful. i have visions/daydreams/call-them-what-you-will of how i imagine the boys are at various times and it's nice to see someone express that so poignantly. and be reminded that i'm not nuts.

Why! Why would you do that??? I’ve still not listened to the Beasties. I’ve been trying. I’ll get in my car and look at my IPOD and think yes I am gonna do it but then I chicken out. I don’t know will never happen. It just won’t.
