my next endeavor is to truly dive in to the early hard core stuff. of course I heard Aglio, Pollywog, and Some Old Bullshit etc, but I never truly analyzed every lyric, story, and bassline.

I can't wait to dive in.

Iv been listening to some of the Yauch solo songs an my goodness he was a smart man. I always just rapped them but when I actualy listened to the words he says some crazy awsome shit.

It keeps popping up, and it's so true: Adam Yauch was one of those special people you could learn something from and be influenced by. You wouldn't think so, since he was a celebrity, and celebrities typically aren't like that, but it's a fact. The world could use more people like him.

Adrock was the heart, Mike D was the brains and MCA was the soul of the Beastie Boys.

I was just watching some old videos. I still can't believe he's gone.

Can't believe it's a whole week since he passed and I still cut up. I don't usually post much on these boards but I always check in regularly to catch up with what you other users are thinking and saying. This week it has certainly helped.

There has been no other place to find solace than here, where it feels like everyone is going through this together. I don't think anyone I know gets the grief I'm feeling.
I've spent all my adult life listening to the Beastie Boys, looking out for news of the next release or a possible tour, and to know it's not going to happen has been difficult to deal with.
I haven't been able to play the CDs that have been sat in my car since I bought it five years ago, the Beastie Boys music always cheered me up on my journey to work, and this week has been so weird in that I haven't wanted to hear them.

I can't even begin to imagine what his friends and family are going through, my deepest sympathies to them.
I'll never forget Yauch and the impact he's had on me will stay with me forever.

Thanks for all the great music - I was in NYC visiting when I got a text from my brother, whose Licensed To Ill tape got me listening to the boys in 1989 ish and I haven't stopped since then. It's such a loss especially for his family. The Beastie Boys will always be legends and Adam Yauch will be heard forever.
