This sucks. My bro came over and we partied till around 5. I played all my beastie vinyl - from cookie puss to hot sauce. Today I feel no better. Reading all the twitter feeds to watching Jimmy Fallon it's a mindfuck really. The article below states Adam went into the hospital right around the HOF induction and then things moved rapidly. I have no idea what my point is but I'm sad and this hurts.

Did anyone see Showbiz tonight? it was on at 11:00 pm, and they did a nice memorable for MCA.
But something stuck out to me...
The little piece they showed of Mike D getting interviewed about why Yauch wasnt at the RNRHOF ceremony, and Mike was stumbling over his words to come up with the appropriate thing to say. It was hard to watch.... really hard.

I am only reading news online or here on this board. I can't watch anything on TV. I think it would be too much. It's nice to see so many people in the media showing so much love and respect for him. FLEA'S comment was my favorite. FLEA is just a wonderful person. I don't know but the Chili Peppers have been saying so many great thinks about Yauch. I love them for that.

My dad was watching it and I walked in, I'm too weak to look up anything online. I've only been on twitter, fb, and this message board... I can't watch videos of him on YouTube, I can't look up articles... Seeing pictures of him breaks my heart more. I can't go in my room

So very very sad. He had a kindness that was one of a kind, a gentleman, a role model and an important artist. It is difficult to put into words how I feel. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for his family and closest friends.

Default Re: Adam Yauch - 1964-2012

been mourning and grieving this awful news all day and all night.

one Adam Yauch story-

I was working with a youth group and they were taking group ice skating lessons at Chelsea Piers. I was freeskating around the rink and lo and behold, Adam was doing the same.his daughter was taking a private lesson.

this was post 9-11 NYC. it was a Friday in March 2003. In A World Gone Mad had just been released on the band's official website that very week.

I skated around the rink a couple of times after spotting him and I stopped and called a friend on my cell phone- I was really nervous! I had always hoped to bump into a Beastie Boy on the streets of NYC, but man, this was Adam. MCA in the flesh just going solo around an ice rink.

after building up the nerve, I just skated right up to him, said "Hey Adam" and extended my hand for a handshake. I went right into to telling him that I loved the new track (this was their first new song release in quite some time) and to keep doing what they were doing. he was so kind and genuine.

the next Friday, it was the same story all over again. this time he gave me the old head nod and showed me approval for what I was doing- he saw I was trying my best to supervise these rugrats and keep my composure talking to one of my idols, heroes, legends...

we said what's up again and went about our own business.

he was such an amazing and loving father.



Long Burn The Fire. Rest In Peace Adam.

I wish I had something that could possibly be a fitting tribute to him. I'm just so, so sad that he's gone. My sympathies to his family, the other Beasties and his friends.

I have been totally numb all day, was supposed to work, but couldn't do anything, been sitting by my computer, going through photos and videos, crying every now and then and been horrified the amount of stuff that has turned up on eBay, horrible T-shirts and "autographed" photos. One record shop that was selling Paul's Boutique color vinyl box for $99 a month ago want $250 for it now...

There's gonna be a hugest full moon tonight so guess I won't get any sleep tonight either...

Amazing. Yet another perfect thing about Adam. He was just so 100% modest an normal. I can almost see his exact face with that head nod. What a guy.

MCA thanks for having a positive impact on my life and helping me survive some difficult times and helping me enjoy some happy times.

Nothin but Love and Gratitude...


I am so sad, but looking at old pics and talking to friends I realized how lucky I am to have experienced and remember so many wonderful moments of my life through your music and presence.... such a huge part of me since the begining,

sometimes my friends tease me about how much I love/miss the 80's, but the truth is it was the greatest time the music was so new and fresh. I was young and free with no worries, and no one I knew had died yet, especially of cancer. It seems the past ten years the people I love and value so much have all been devoured by this monster. It is truly heartbreaking. I can't understand..

I stop myself when I feel this way and I remember I am so lucky to have had each and everyone of these extrodinary people in my life, and I only feel happiness and gratitude.


Thank you Adam for being such huge part of my life. It truly was a pleasure meeting you.

To all of you.... much love you were as much a part of him as he was you. I hope you all celebrate his life always.

Peace
T

That's awesome. My favorite memory is from a show in Miami at Crobar during VMA weekend. It was August and TT5B had just dropped. They did a 45 minute all hip-hop set. 21+ show on a stage that was waist high with a single velvet rope and no security. I was dapping all 3 of them the entire show. It was amazing.

Anyway, the beginning of Open Letter starts and when the beat drops I just threw up a peace sign, held it there, and began bobbing my head. It just felt right. It was my way of showing the boys that I understood the vibe of that track.

Yauch made eye contact with me and gave me that same nod you got Jeremy, the "Yauch Nod." Head kind of half-cocked, like he was agreeing with me.....acknowledging me, saying, "I feel ya man." Never forget it.

You know how when something awful happens, and you wake up the following day and the awful event pops into your head and you're like "oh fuck, it's still true." That's how I felt when I got up today.

Sad.

Yes I too felt the thread needed a proper title change, i was in shock when i started it and the news had really just broken ... I think part of me was hoping it was wrong ... not to mention the tmz blurb was inaccurate ...


This must be so hard for the people most close to him. They are in my thoughts and well wishes.

When I think about why I am so devasted...well it's Beastie Boys songs listed as "music of the day" in my firstborn's baby book 28 years ago, lyrics to their songs were some of her first words, hardly a day has gone by during those years that I haven't listened to their music, never tiring of the def jams, still can't listen to Intergallactic without getting a smile on my face. That I relate to this music on so many levels, but in the end it is all about the beats. They helped define my life but what now? Time will heal, but it will never be the same.
