Dead at only 47. It's scary when someone not older than yourself dies. Someone who must have been able to afford the best medical care money could buy. I saw Beastie Boys live in Sydney in 1992. They were awesome. Best hip hop live show I've ever seen by country miles. | ||

Should have said "not much older" there. | ||

I'll second this, Padraig. I'm a big Beastie Boys fan, but I'm an even bigger fan of people roughly my own age not dying. Goddamn cancer. Yauch lived long enough to see his group inducted into the Rock and Roll Half of Fame, though, which is pretty remarkable. From all accounts, he was a smart, funny, humane guy, and this is damn sad. | ||

Just watched the excrutiatingly awful clip of Coldplay doing Fight for Your Right to Party, if Mr Yauch is in the ground yet he must be turning in his grave | ||

Yeah, I saw that, too. It was a thoughtful tribute, for sure, but it sums up everything you need to know about Coldplay. Fighting for your right to party involves making everyone sleepy? |
