"MCA" of Beastie Boys fame (Adam Yauch) passed away today from cancer. Although he announced his cancer a few years ago, it's still a say day for music.
I consider myself a Beastie Boys fan, own most of their albums, and used to sport a glittery sticker on my Saturn (seriously, I was like, a totally cool high schooler). As someone who typically doesn't like rap or hip-hop, I really enjoy the Beastie Boys.
While death of strangers does not usually bother me, this one does. It's sad to see someone who's music has impacted my life, been shouted drunkenly more times than I can remember, and will continue to be a staple in my iTunes.
RIP MCA. My thoughts go out to your family and friends.
