Yauch became a vegan at the recommendation of his Tibetan doctors.

Interesting tidbit to include.

One of the coolest white guys ever to walk the planet. Rest in peace, MCA, and say hey to Paul Revere for us.

Sad, sad news.

Another one of my generation and my youth is gone.

Rest in Peace, Adam. You guys were an important part of the soundtrack of my high school and college days.

That really sucks. I loved the Beastie Boys back in my more youthful days. I still queue up some of their songs on my iPod now and then.

[GlockThe Vote]

Love the Beasties music

License to Ill and Paul’s boutique were masterpieces

FYI.

The Brooklyn-born musician known to fans as MCA was first treated for cancerous growths in his parotid gland and a lymph node in 2009 and subsequently underwent surgery and radiation therapy, which forced the delay of the Beastie Boys’ most recent album Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. His illness has also kept the group off the road, and Yauch missed the group’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two weeks ago.

When Ad-Rock and Mike D accepted the Beastie Boys’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two weeks ago, they read a letter from Yauch thanking both his bandmates and the group’s fans: “I’d like to dedicate this to my brothers Adam and Mike,” he wrote. “They walked the globe with me. It’s also for anyone who has ever been touched by our band. This induction is as much ours as it is yours.”

Yauch is survived by his wife, Dechen Wengdu, and their daughter Losel.

What a rebel! A thug and a Tibetan vegetarian! That'll stick it to "The Man!" (And yes, I know he wasn't Black.)

All the same, a death is always a tragedy. Shocked to hear this.

Now he’s rhymin’ and stealin’ in the afterlife.

R.I.P., MCA.

This thread should've had 150+ posts by now.

Where'd everyone go?

Sigh...

Again, RIP Adam.

Wow! I’ve been on a buying binge of some of my favorite 80’s albums and just purchased “Liscence to Ill!” It is a great album all the way thru!
