Yauch's high school English teacher remembers him:

Ugh, there I go welling up again:

"Often Adam and I would ride the subway together, as we lived on the same Brooklyn street. On those rides home from school, he spoke about his band and the gigs they were starting to get. One day he excitedly told me that his band would soon be getting a record contract."

this is what got me:

Adam Yauch was a regular kid, who sometimes needed to be pushed to do his homework—but not always, and sometimes came late---but not often, and who ultimately worked and learned some stuff about reading and writing in my class. He liked his fellow students, he enjoyed a good laugh, and he had depth and humanity, even then. When we discussed biographies for book reports, Adam read and wrote about Tony Hawk, the superstar skateboarder. Thirty years later I still remember it for its unbridled admiration of Hawk’s talents, and for his respect for Hawk’s philanthropy and good character. It never surprised me that Adam himself became a man of prodigious talent and who was concerned with people and philanthropy.

but the Tony Hawk timeline doesn't quite add up. Hawk was born 4 years after Yauch, and went pro when he was 14 in 1982.

Began Skating: 1977
First Sponsored: 1980
Turned Pro: 1982

edit: I guess that could have been Adam's senior year, but was Hawk doing charity work at such a young age? I myself was obsessed with Hawk in 1989, and you could say that I was a similar kid who always needed to be encouraged to reach my potential.

what a great perspective from a teacher's angle

Even though he was a buddhist it doesn't stop the Christians from praising and recognizing him...

[Nerd Fight]

I don't know if anyone listens to the Stuff You Should Know podcast (it's awesome, you should), but on yesterday's one - 'What is a shotgun house?' - they had a listener mail about the Beastie Boys.

Stuff You Should Know

They read the mail at the end of the podcast, around the 20 minute mark.

The mail was about a girl who hung out with the Beastie Boys for a day during the License to Ill era, with stories about going to the Seven Eleven with Adrock and being kissed on the cheek by MCA.

The weird thing is, they recorded the podcast just before Yauch passed away...the timing is just a coincidence.
But the story is the same: Yauch was, and always has been a cool guy.

The band Travis Porter pays tribute to MCA, by naming their tour "No Sleep Till Atlanta."

And Biz Markie's statement on Yauch:

"He was in a class by himself. All three of them was in a class by themselves. They were different, but he was a cool one and he was just different. He was from a different cloth, he had a different aura about him. He was just super cool."
